The length of the rectangle is 34.4 m, it is 7 times more wide. Find the perimeter of the rectangle.

A quadrilateral whose opposite sides are equal and parallel is called a rectangle.

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding the lengths of all its sides.

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

P = 2a + 2b;

Р – figure perimeter;

a and b are the length and width of the rectangle.

Let’s find the width of the rectangle:

b = a / 7 = 34.4 m / 7 = 4.914 …

Let’s round up to 4.91 m.

Find the perimeter of the rectangle:

P = 2 * 34.4 m + 2 * 4.91 m = 78.62 m.

Answer: the perimeter is 78.62 meters.
