One side of the rectangle is 17m and the other is 65cm less. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

1. There are 100 centimeters in one meter, which means that 1 centimeter is 1 hundredth of a meter:

1/100 or 0.01.

2.65 cm = 0.65 m.

3. The second side of the rectangle is:

17 – 0.65 = 16.35 meters.

4. Find the perimeter of this rectangle:

2 x (17 + 16.35) = 66.7 meters or 66 meters 70 centimeters.

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 66.7 meters or 66 meters 70 centimeters.
