A Rectangle has four sides with the parallel or opposite sides being the same in measurement. Therefore, to get the Perimeter of a Rectangle you need to add up or sum up the lengths of all four sides. Moreover, since a Rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, its Perimeter can be calculated by adding together the lengths of all four sides or, more conveniently, by using a particular formula that takes advantage of the equal parallel lengths of opposite sides. Read on to learn more about this easy Perimeter of a Rectangle Formula along with Examples.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-a-perimeter\">What is a Perimeter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Perimeter is the total distance around its outer edge. It is a linear measurement that includes the whole boundary of the shape. For any <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-maths-shapes\/\"><strong>polygon<\/strong><\/a>, the Perimeter is the addition or sum of the lengths of all its sides. Taking into day-to-day considerations, learning about the Perimeter is important for tasks such as fencing a garden, framing a picture, or any project that requires surrounding a space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do Remember! <\/strong>Breadth is also known as Width.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-perimeter-of-a-rectangle-formula\">What is the Perimeter of a Rectangle Formula?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Formula for finding the Perimeter of a Rectangle is easy. It advantages the aspect that opposite or parallel sides of a Rectangle are equal. If <em>l<\/em> represents the Length of the Rectangle and <em>b<\/em> represents the Breadth, the Formula for the Perimeter (P) is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perimeter = (Length + Breadth) \u2715 2<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, this Formula emerges from the need to add the lengths of all four sides, but as there are two sides of Length <em>l<\/em> and two sides of Breadth <em>b<\/em>, the calculation becomes easy to double the Sum of the Length and Breadth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><strong>Area and Perimeter Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-find-the-perimeter-of-a-rectangle\">How to find the Perimeter of a Rectangle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, here are the Steps as to how to find the Perimeter of a Rectangle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, you need to get the measurements of the Length and Breadth of the Rectangle. You have to make sure that the measurements are in the same unit.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Then, use the Formula of the Perimeter of a Rectangle, P = (l + b) \u2715 2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After this, you need to add the length and breadth and multiply the result by 2 so as to get the Perimeter.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look at this example, where you have a Rectangle with a length of 8 meters and a breadth is 5 meters.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perimeter = (8 + 5) \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perimeter = 13 \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perimeter = 26 meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, the Perimeter of the Rectangle is 26 meters.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/indian-exams\/exam-prep-area-and-perimeter-questions\/\"><strong>40 + Area and Perimeter Questions with Answers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perimeter-of-rectangle-example-nbsp\">Perimeter of Rectangle Example\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine you have a garden that is Rectangular in shape, and you want to install a white picket fence around it.
