Question: 86

2. Find the perimeter of a rectangle with the dimensions 115' × 63'.

  • A. 7245'
  • B. 356'
  • C. 187'
  • D. 178'

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The correct answer is (B). The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the four sides. A rectangle has two pairs of sides of equal length. The perimeter then is (2 × 115) + (2 × 63) = 356 feet.

115 + 63 + 115 + 63 = 356

This is a good problem to solve by estimation. You can readily discard three of the possible answers without doing any calculation.
