The width of a rectangle is half its length. Calculate its perimeter. If the length of the rectangle is 12 cm

The length of the rectangle is 12 cm, and the width is 2 times less than the length. Accordingly, the width will be 12: 2 = 6 cm.

The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides.

We get:

12 + 12 + 6 + 6 = 36 (cm)

or the second way:

(12 + 6) * 2 = 36 (cm)

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 36 cm.
