This is my last question. Find the perimeter of a rectangular area with a length of 13 inches and a width of 7 inches, with and without distribution.

Question

marihelenh · Answer

A rectangle has 4 sides. Two are the length, and the other two are the width. |dw:1451532266980:dw|
So, you can either add each value twice, or just multiply the height and width by two and then add them together.

Does that make sense?

cav7 · Answer

Yeah that does

marihelenh · Answer

What did you get?

cav7 · Answer

13+13+7+7=40

anonymous · Answer

40 is the answer

marihelenh · Answer

Yep, that is correct!

cav7 · Answer

Right, so for distribution it'd be 13*2+7*2 then

marihelenh · Answer

Yes, that is correct as well.

cav7 · Answer

Jeez you're a life saver, even in this seemed small to you

marihelenh · Answer

Glad to help! Need anything else?

cav7 · Answer

Well all I need now is an original example

cav7 · Answer

With distribution and without and all that, then I'll be done

marihelenh · Answer

Are you able to do a problem like the one we just did just with different numbers? Or does it have to be a different format?

cav7 · Answer

Yeah, I can do a problem like this one

marihelenh · Answer

Well then, you should be good to go. Let me know if you need any help, but I am sure you will be more than capable now that you understand what to do.
