Length plus width
Correct Answer
C. Length plus width plus length plus widthExplanation
The correct answer is "length plus width plus length plus width" because the formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is to add up all the sides. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length, so we add the length twice and the width twice to get the total perimeter.Rate this question:
