what do you think?

wild guess maybe?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm afraid not. to get the perimeter, you need add together the lenghts of all four sides. We already know two lenghts, namely 9 and 4, what are the other lenghts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is doesnt say

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just |dw:1323882073763:dw|

I know, but you can figure it out. You see, a rectangle has the property that two opposite sides have the same lenght.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perimeter is 26...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all u do is add the sides up... first side is 9 and other side is 4 .... there are two more sides exactly alike so just add 9+9+4+4 = 26...
