In rectangle ABCD, side AB is 53 cm, side BC is 2 cm larger than side AB, find the perimeter of the rectangle?

To calculate side BC, add the value of side AB with the difference in lengths between these sides:

BC = 53 + 2 = 55 cm.

Let’s write a formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2 (a + b) = 2 (AB + BC).

Let’s substitute the values of the available sides into it:

P = 2 (53 + 55) = 2 * 108 = 216 cm – the perimeter of this rectangle.

Answer: 216 cm.
