Q. A rectangle has a length of 1212 meters and a width of 400400 centimeters. What is the perimeter, in cm \mathrm{cm} , of the rectangle?\newline(A) 824824\newline(B) 11,600600\newline(c) 22,000000\newline(D) 33,200200
  1. Convert to Centimeters: First, we need to ensure that the length and width of the rectangle are in the same units before calculating the perimeter. Since the width is given in centimeters, we will convert the length from meters to centimeters. There are 100100 centimeters in a meter.\newlineCalculation: 1212 meters ×\times 100100 centimeters/meter == 12001200 centimeters
  2. Calculate Perimeter: Now that both the length and width are in centimeters, we can calculate the perimeter of the rectangle. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2(l+w)P = 2(l + w), where ll is the length and ww is the width.\newlineCalculation: P=2(1200cm+400cm)=2(1600cm)=3200cmP = 2(1200\,\text{cm} + 400\,\text{cm}) = 2(1600\,\text{cm}) = 3200\,\text{cm}
