Question

question 21 of 25 what is the perimeter of the rectangle shown below? a 5 b o a. 26 units o b. 18 units o c. 13 units o d. 40 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter formula of a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. In the rectangle, assume $AB = 5$ is the length and $AD=8$ is the width.

Step2: Substitute values

Substitute $l = 5$ and $w = 8$ into the formula: $P=2(5 + 8)$.

Step3: Calculate

First, calculate the sum inside the parentheses: $5+8 = 13$. Then, multiply by 2: $2\times13=26$.

Answer:

A. 26 units
