The formula for the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is given by:
\[
P = 2L + 2W
\]
Where \( L \) is the length and \( W \) is the width. Substituting the given values \( L = 12 \) and \( W = 5 \) into the formula:
\[
P = 2(12) + 2(5)
\]
Calculating each term:
\[
P = 24 + 10
\]
Adding these together:
\[
P = 34
\]
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is \( 34 \) units.
