\begin{array}{r} l = & 2 \\ w = & 4 \end{array}

$\begin{array}{r} l = & 2 \\ w = & 4 \end{array}$

Step 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the sum of all sides of the rectangle.

l e n g t h + l e n g t h + w i d t h + w i d t h = 2 \cdot (l e n g t h) + 2 \cdot (w i d t h)

$l e n g t h + l e n g t h + w i d t h + w i d t h = 2 \cdot (l e n g t h) + 2 \cdot (w i d t h)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the length

l = 2

$l = 2$ and width

w = 4

$w = 4$ into the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

2 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 4

$2 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 4$
