Given:
Length = 7/10 ft
Width = 1/5 ft
Determine the perimeter of the rectangle
Formula for the perimeter of the rectangle:
P = 2 ( l + w)
Solution:
Convert first the fractions to decimal by dividing the numerator with the denominator.
7/10
= 0.7
1/5
= 0.2
Equate the given values to the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle.
P = 2 ( 0.7 + 0.2 )
P = 2 ( 0.9 )
P = 1.8 ft
Final answer:
The perimeter of the rectangle is 1.8 ft.
