The perimeter of a rectangle of length 4 cm and width 9 cm is: A. 26cm
B. 13cm
C. 36cm
D. 26m

Perimeter of the rectangle = PQ + QR + RS + SP

= b +l + b + l

= 2b +2l

Again,

ABCD is a rectangle. We know that the opposite sides of a rectangle are equal.

Perimeter of a Rectangle
AB = CD = 5 cm and BC = AD = 3 cm

So, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 5 cm + 3 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm = 16 cm

It can be written as 5 cm + 5 cm + 3 cm + 3 cm

= (2 × 5) cm + (2 × 3) cm

= 2 (5 + 3) cm

= 2 × 8 cm

= 16 cm
