What is perimter?

Perimeter is the total distance around an object.

To calculate the perimeter/ total distance around the rectangular field, we us the formula below.

Formula:

  • P = 2(L+W)........... Equation1

Where:

  • P = Total distance around the rectangular field.
  • L = Length of the long side
  • W = Length of the short side.

From the question,

Given:

  • L = 40.44 m
  • W = 24.0 m

Substitute these values into equation 1

  • P = 2(40.44+24)
  • P = 2(64.44)
  • P = 128.88 m

Hence, the distance around the rectangular field is 128.88 m.
