The perimeter of the rectangle that has a length of 5 3/5 inches, and the width as half of its length is 16.8 inches. Hence, option A is the right choice.
The perimeter of any object is the total sum length of its boundary.
The perimeter of a rectangle with length l units and width w units is given as:
Perimeter = 2(l + w) units.
In the question, we are given that the length of a rectangle is 5 3/5 inches and its width is half of its length. We are asked to find the perimeter of the rectangle.
The length of the given rectangle (l) = 5 3/5 inches = 28/5 inches.
The width of the given rectangle (w) = Half of length = 1/2 * 28/5 inches = 14/5 inches.
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b) = 2(28/5 + 14/5) inches,
or, the perimeter = 2(42/5) inches,
or, the perimeter = 84/5 inches,
or, the perimeter = 16.8 inches.
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle that has a length of 5 3/5 inches, and the width as half of its length is 16.8 inches. Hence, option A is the right choice.
The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:
"The length of a rectangle is 5 3/5 inches. the width of the rectangle is half of its length. what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
(a) 16.8 inches
(b) 8.4 inches
(c) 2.8 inches
