4. Determine the perimeter of the rectangle whose length and breadth are respectively
(a) 4 cm, 3 cm. (b) 12 cm, 9 cm. (c) 9 m, 7 m.
(d) 6 cm, 5 cm.
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of the rectangle = PQ + QR + RS + SP
= b +l + b + l
= 2b +2l
Again,
ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.
Perimeter of a Rectangle
AB = CD = 5 cm and BC = AD = 3 cm
So, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 5 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 16 cm
It can be written as 5 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm
= (2 × 5) cm + (2 × 3) cm
= 2 (5 + 3) cm
= 2 × 8 cm
= 16 cm
We add length and breadth twice to find the perimeter of a rectangle.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (length + breadth)
