Question

1. the length of one side of a rectangle is 4.4 meters. the width of the other side is 3.2 meters. what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$ where $l$ is length and $w$ is width.

Step2: Substitute values

Let $l = 4.4$ meters and $w = 3.2$ meters. Then $P=2(4.4 + 3.2)$.
First, calculate the sum inside the parentheses: $4.4+3.2 = 7.6$.
Then, multiply by 2: $P = 2\times7.6=15.2$.

Answer:

$15.2$ meters
