Question: 665
9. How many meters of police tape are needed to wrap around a rectangular crime scene that measures 6 meters wide by 28 meters long?
- A. 34 meters
- B. 68 meters
- C. 90 meters
- D. 136 meters
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The length of police tape wrapping around a rectangle is the same as the perimeter. Draw a rectangle and label the length as 28 and the width as 6. Remember, in a rectangle, opposite sides are equal to each other. Calculate the perimeter by adding all the sides: 6 + 6 + 28 + 28 = 68. The correct answer is (B).
