A rectangle has a length of 13 and a width of 6 . What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Question

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides. It's given that the rectangle has a length of 13 and a width of 6 . It follows that the rectangle has two sides with length 13 and two sides with length 6 . Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 13 + 13 + 6 + 6 , or 38 . Choice A is incorrect. This is the sum of the lengths of the two sides with length 6 , not the sum of the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle. Choice B is incorrect. This is the sum of the lengths of the two sides with length 13 , not the sum of the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle. Choice D is incorrect. This is the perimeter of a rectangle that has four sides with length 13 , not two sides with length 13 and two sides with length 6 .
