Find the perimeter of rectangle ABCD with sides AB = 17cm, BC = 13cm.

To solve the problem, let’s remember what a rectangle is.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral in which the parallel sides are equal and the sides intersect at right angles.

From this definition, we know that side AB is equal to side CD, and side BC is equal to side DA.

AB = CD = 17 cm.

BC = DA = 13 cm.

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of all sides.

2 * 17 + 2 * 13 = 34 + 26 = 60 cm.

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 60 cm.
