A rectangle is 16 cm. in length. Its width is 50% of its length. what is its perimeter?

Sagot :

50% of 16 is 8 so it would be 16+16+8+8 which equals 48

Answer:  48 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A perimeter(P) of a rectangle is equal to 2(L + W), or 2L + 2W, so we write the equation as:  

1st way:

W = 50%(16) = 0.5 x 16 = 8

   P = 2(L + W)

   P = 2(16 + 8)

   P = 2(24)

   P = 48 cm

2nd way:

   P = 2L + 2W

   P = 2(16) + 2[50%(16)]

   P = 2(16) + 2[0.5 X 16]

   P = 32 + 2(8)

   P = 32 + 16

   P = 48 cm
