Q. A rectangular parking lot is 79meters wide and 114meters long. What is its perimeter?_____ meters
Identify Rectangle Perimeter Formula: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to add up all the sides. Since a rectangle has two lengths and two widths, the formula for the perimeter is P=2(length+width).
Substitute Given Dimensions: Plugging in the given dimensions: P=2(114 meters+79 meters).
Calculate Sum: Calculating the sum inside the parentheses: 114+79=193 meters.
Find Perimeter: Now, multiply by 2 to find the perimeter: 2×193=386 meters.
