Sam is hanging a string of lights around his window. The window is a rectangular shape. The length of the window is 65 inches and the width of the window is 24 inches. What is the perimeter, in inches, of the window?
A.178 in
B.130 in
C.89 in
D.48 in
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you add up the lengths of all four sides. In this case, the length is 65 inches and the width is 24 inches, so the perimeter = 65 + 65 + 24 + 24 = 178 inches. Therefore, the answer is A. 178 in.
The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding up all the sides.
Given:
Length of the window = 65 inches
Width of the window = 24 inches
To find the perimeter of the window, add up all the sides:
Perimeter = Length + Width + Length + Width
Plugging in the given values:
Perimeter = 65 + 24 + 65 + 24
Calculating the sum:
Perimeter = 130 + 89
Therefore, the perimeter of the window is 130 + 89 = 219 inches.
Since none of the provided answer options are 219 inches, we can conclude that there may be an error in the choices given.
To find the perimeter of the window, we need to add up all the sides of the rectangle.
The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is:
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)
Given that the length of the window is 65 inches and the width is 24 inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Perimeter = 2(65 + 24)
Perimeter = 2(89)
Perimeter = 178 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the window is 178 inches. So, the correct answer is A. 178 in.
