Question

find the perimeter: p = l + w + l + w surface that is 34 m wide and 36 m long compare: <, >, = 3 m 38 cm 340 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the perimeter

Given \( l = 36\) m and \( w = 34\) m.
Substitute into \( P=l + w+l + w\):
\(P=36+34 + 36+34\)
\(P=(36 + 36)+(34 + 34)\)
\(P = 72+68\)
\(P=140\) m

Step2: Compare the lengths

Convert \(3\) m \(38\) cm to cm.
Since \(1\) m \(= 100\) cm, \(3\) m \(=3\times100 = 300\) cm.
\(3\) m \(38\) cm \(=300 + 38=338\) cm.
Now compare \(338\) cm and \(340\) cm.

Answer:

The perimeter is \(140\) m. \(3\) m \(38\) cm \(<340\) cm.
