Q. A rectangle has a length of 12 meters and a width of 400 centimeters. What is the perimeter, in cm, of the rectangle?(A) 824(B) 1,600(c) 2,000(D) 3,200
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 100 centimeters in a meter.Calculation: 12 meters ×100 centimeters/meter =1200 centimeters
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), where l is the length and w is the width.Calculation: P=2(1200cm+400cm)=2(1600cm)=3200cm
