Question 5 of 7

What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral shown above?

B.15 cm

C.16 cm

D.18 cm

1 answer

The perimeter of the rectangle can be found by adding up all four sides. The two long sides are both 5 cm, and the two short sides are both 3 cm. Therefore, the perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2(5 cm) + 2(3 cm)
Perimeter = 10 cm + 6 cm
Perimeter = 16 cm

Therefore, the answer is (C) 16 cm.
