Answer:
[tex] P = 2*7 + 2*5 [/tex]
[tex] P = 14 + 10 [/tex]
[tex] P = 24 inches [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Lenght (l) of rectangle = 7 inches
Width (w) of rectangle = 5 inches
Perimeter (P) of rectangle is given as [tex] P = 2l + 2w [/tex]
Plug in the values of l and w into the formula:
[tex] P = 2*7 + 2*5 [/tex]
Multiply each
[tex] P = 14 + 10 [/tex]
Add together
[tex] P = 24 inches [/tex]
