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.&nbsp;<\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Do Remember! <\/strong>Breadth is also known as Width.&nbsp;<\/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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = (Length + Breadth) \u2715 2<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 wp-block-paragraph\"><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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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.&nbsp;<\/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.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at this example, where you have a Rectangle with a length of 8 meters and a breadth is 5 meters.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = (8 + 5) \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = 13 \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = 26 meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the Perimeter of the Rectangle is 26 meters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-to-cyan-bluish-gray-gradient-background has-background wp-block-paragraph\"><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&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine you have a garden that is Rectangular in shape, and you want to install a white picket fence around it. The garden&#8217;s Length is 15 meters, and its Breadth is 10 meters. Moreover, to find out how much fencing material you need, you hence need to calculate the Perimeter.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Length = 15 meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breadth = 10 meters&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using the Formula of the Perimeter of a Rectangle which is Perimeter = (Length + Breadth) \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = (15 + 10) \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = 25 \u2715 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perimeter = 50 meters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, you would need 50 meters of fence material to surround your beautiful garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1716899317103\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Formula for the Perimeter of a Rectangle is Perimeter = (Length + Breadth) \u2715 2.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1716899327670\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is perimeter and its formula?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Perimeter is the border surrounding a shape, suppose a Rectangle and the Formula is Perimeter = (Length + Breadth) \u2715 2.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1716899341655\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the area and perimeter of a rectangle?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-area-of-rectangle\/\"><strong>Area of a Rectangle<\/strong><\/a> is the region within the Perimeter which is the outer edge.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-b9eb360a4bc4bdaa3c4feb84a1bd0d67 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related Blogs\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-types-of-fractions\/\"><strong>7 Types of Fractions with Examples<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-factors-of-25\/\"><strong>Factors of 25<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-factors-of-20\/\"><strong>Factors of 20<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-tables-1-to-20\/\"><strong>Multiplication Tables of 1 to 20<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-ordinal-numbers\/\"><strong>Ordinal Numbers from 1 to 100!<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/civics-and-polity-table-of-17\/\"><strong>Table of 17: Multiples up to 20 &amp; a Trick!<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-table-of-12\/\"><strong>Table of 12: Multiples up to 20!<\/strong><\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/leverageedu.com\/discover\/school-education\/basic-concepts-formula-of-profit-and-loss\/\"><strong>Formula of Profit and Loss<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope this helps!
