If you have two lawns - one in front of your house and the other at the back, in the shape of a rectangle, find the perimeter if its lengths and breadth s are given as follows:
i. l = 10 cm, b = 8 cm
ii. l = 18 cm, b = 12 cm
i. 36 cm, ii. 60 cm
The general algebraic formula for perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
i. l = 10 cm, b = 8 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(10 + 8) = 2 × 18 = 36 cm.
ii. l = 18 cm, b = 12 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b) = 2(18 +12) = 2 × 30 = 60 cm.
