You can put this solution on YOUR website!
you have a rectangle the perimeter of a rectangle is \"P=2L%2B2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=164\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=75\"
\n" ); document.write( "so find P
\n" ); document.write( "because the question is saying the horse ran around the perimeter 4 times meaning \"4P\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2L%2B2W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28L%2BW%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28%28164%29%2B%2875%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28239%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=478\"
\n" ); document.write( "so \"4P=4%28478%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"4P=1912\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%281912%29\" meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
