Calculate the Perimeter: 10 by 7 Rectangle Problem

Question

Look at the rectangle below:

Calculate its perimeter.

00:00 Find the perimeter of the rectangle

00:03 Opposite sides in a rectangle are equal

00:07 The perimeter of the rectangle equals the sum of its sides

00:12 Let's solve each 2 factors separately and then sum them

00:21 And this is the solution to the question

Given that in a rectangle every pair of opposite sides are equal to each other, we can state that:

$AB=CD=10$

$BC=AD=7$

Now let's add all the sides together to find the perimeter of the rectangle:

$10+7+10+7=20+14=34$
