There are two lawns in the shape of a rectangle. Find the perimeter of the lawns if its lengths and breadths are given as follows:
i. l = 10 cm, b = 8 cm
ii. l = 18 cm, b = 12 cm
where l = length and b = breadth
i. 36 cm, ii. 60 cm
The general algebraic formula for perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)
For (i)
l = 10 cm, b = 8 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
= 2(10 + 8)
= 2 × 18
= 36 cm.
For (ii)
l =18 cm, b = 12 cm
Perimeter = 2(l + b)
= 2(18 +12)
= 2 × 30
= 60 cm.
