Find the perimeter of the rectangle which is 6 cm long and 4 cm wide.

Length (a) – 6 cm;

Width (b) – 4 cm;

Perimeter (P) -? cm.

The perimeter of any polygon is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

The perimeter of the rectangle is found by the formula:

Ppr = (a + b) * 2.

Substitute into this formula the values of the length and width of the rectangle known to us by condition:

Ppr = (6 + 4) * 2 = 10 * 2 = 20 (cm).

Answer: The perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm.
