The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides. In this case, we are given that the width of the rectangle is 6 yards.
Let's assume the length of the rectangle is L yards. Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides (length and width), we can say that the length of the rectangle is also L yards.
The formula for the perimeter (P) is calculated by adding all four sides:
P = 2L + 2w
Given that the width (w) is 6 yards, we can substitute this value into the formula:
P = 2L + 2(6)
Simplifying, we get:
P = 2L + 12
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 2L + 12 yards.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle whose width w 6 is yards?
