The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the following equation...
Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 x length + 2 x width
Side our length is 3 meters and width is 16 meters, we can use the equation.
Perimeter = 2 x 3 + 2 x 16 = 6 + 32 = 38 meters
In order to determine the perimeter we use the perimeter formula which is:
2l + 2w
Plug in the numbers listed in the question.
2(3) + 2(16)
6 + 32 = 38
Thus, the perimeter of the rectangle is 38 meters.
