A ballroom is 60 ft long and 30 ft wide. Which of the following formulas is the correct formulas to determine the perimeter of the ballroom. a. P=2+60+2+30 b. P=60x30 c. P= 30x 30 + 60 x60 d. P= 2 x 60 + 2x 30

The answer is D: 2 x 60 + 2 x 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the lengths of all the sides of a shape combined.  Therefore, 60 is one side and 30 is the other side.  Since the opposite sides are equal, there are two sides that equal 60 and two sides that equal 30.  

So, 60 + 60 + 30 + 30.  

60 + 60 = 60 x 2

30 + 30 = 30 x 2

Therefore, the answer is 60 x 2 + 30 x 2.
