P=2L%2B2W Start with the perimeter of a rectangle formula.


P=2%288%29%2B2%2824%29 Plug in L=8 and W=24.


P=16%2B2%2824%29 Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.


P=16%2B48 Multiply 2 and 24 to get 48.


P=64 Add 16 to 48 to get 64.


So the perimeter of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 24 cm is 64 cm.
