Question #N304
A rectangle has a length of 12 centimeters and a width of 5 centimeters. What is the perimeter, in centimeters, of the rectangle?
A. 17
B. 24
C. 34
D. 60
Correct Answer is: C
The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding up the lengths of all four sides. Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, the perimeter is 2(length + width) = 2(12 + 5) = 2(17) = 34 centimeters.
