Question

In inches, what is the perimeter of a rectangle with a width of 4 inches and length of 10 inches?

Answer 1

The perimeter is the distance around the object so you add 4+10+4+10 to get
28 inches as the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 2

The perimeter of a shape is all of the sides added up.

On a rectangle there are 2 short sides(width) and two longs sides (length)

The width is 4
The length is 10

10+10=20
4+4=8
20+8=28


The perimeter of the rectangle is 28inches
