Transcript text: Find the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths of 5 inches and 9 inches.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Understand the problem
The problem asks for the perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths of 5 inches and 9 inches. The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})
\]
Step 2: Plug in the values
Given the side lengths:
\[
\text{Length} = 5 \, \text{inches}, \quad \text{Width} = 9 \, \text{inches}
\]
Substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (5 + 9)
\]
Step 3: Calculate the perimeter
First, add the length and width:
\[
5 + 9 = 14
\]
Then multiply by 2:
\[
2 \times 14 = 28
\]
Final Answer
The perimeter of the rectangle is \\(\boxed{28 \, \text{inches}}\\).
