Transcript text: Find the perimeter of the rectangle. Express the perimeter using the same unit of measure that appears on the given sides.
The perimeter of the rectangle is $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Find the lengths of the other two sides
A rectangle has two pairs of sides with equal lengths. We are given that one side has length 6 yd and the adjacent side has length 4 yd. The lengths of the other two sides are also 6 yd and 4 yd respectively.
Step 2: Sum the lengths of all four sides
Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
$P = 6 \text{ yd} + 4 \text{ yd} + 6 \text{ yd} + 4 \text{ yd}$
