P = 2L + 2W
P = 2(W + L)
a width of 7 inches.
Calculation With Distribution
(Show all steps.)
plase help me i dont know how to do this with distribution
P = 2(W + L)
Our equation would be 13 + 13 + 7 + 7 = 40 inches
Step 1: Identify the sides of the rectangle.
In this case, the rectangle has a length of 13 inches and a width of 7 inches. So, we have two sides of length 13 inches and two sides of length 7 inches.
Step 2: Calculate the perimeter using distribution.
To find the perimeter, we need to add up all the sides of the rectangle using distribution.
Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
Using distribution, we can rewrite this equation as:
Perimeter = 2 * 13 inches + 2 * 7 inches
Step 3: Simplify the equation.
Now we can simply calculate the values:
Perimeter = 26 inches + 14 inches
Step 4: Add the values to get the final answer.
Perimeter = 40 inches
So, the perimeter of the rectangular area with a length of 13 inches and a width of 7 inches is 40 inches.
