Square PQRS is drawn inside rectangle ABCD such that side PQ is on side AB and side SR is on side DC, as shown below. Line segment PB is 17 inches long and line segment DR is 15 inches long. What is the perimeter of rectangle ABCD?

Answer :

MrRoyal

The perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is the sum of its side lengths, and the perimeter is 70 inches

How to determine the perimeter of ABCD?

The question is incomplete, as the figure of the square and the rectangle are not given; so I will give a general explanation

The perimeter (P) of the rectangle ABCD is calculated using:

P = AB + BC + CD + DA

Since the opposite sides are equal, the formula becomes

P = 2 * (AB + BC)

Assume that the values of AB and BC are 20 and 15, respectively;

The equation becomes

P = 2 * (20 + 15)

Evaluate the product

P = 70

Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 70 inches (using the assumed values)
