You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P=2L%2B2W Start with the perimeter of a rectangle formula.


P=2%2850%29%2B2%2825%29 Plug in L=50 and W=25.


P=100%2B2%2825%29 Multiply 2 and 50 to get 100.


P=100%2B50 Multiply 2 and 25 to get 50.


P=150 Add 100 to 50 to get 150.


So the perimeter of a rectangle with length 50 ft and width 25 ft is 150 units.


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
