Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 9 yards and a width of 6 yards. Enter only the number of yards in the answer box. The perimeter is yards. The solution is

To find the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle, we can use the formula: \[ P = 2(l + w) \] where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width. Given: - Length \( l = 9 \) yards - Width \( w = 6 \) yards Now, we can substitute the values into the formula: \[ P = 2(9 + 6) \] Calculating the expression inside the parentheses: \[ 9 + 6 = 15 \] Now, substituting back into the perimeter formula: \[ P = 2 \times 15 = 30 \] Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is \( 30 \) yards. The solution is \( 30 \).
