Step 1. State the formula.

The formula of perimeter of a rectangle is P=2l+w, whereP is perimeter,l is length andw is width of the rectangle.

02

Step 2. List the given data.

The given figure is clearly a rectangle. It is also clear, from the given figure, that the length of the given rectangle is6in. and the width of the rectangle is4in.

Then,l=6in. andw=4in.

03

Step 3. Calculate the perimeter.

Putl=6andw=4inP=2l+wto get,

P=26+4=210=20

So, width="48">P=20.

04

Step 4. Determine the unit.

Since the units of length and width of the rectangle are given as inches, the unit of perimeter must also be inches.
