Jill's house is in the shape of a rectangle with a width of 40 feet and a
length of 60 feet. What is the perimeter of Jill's house?
To find the perimeter of a rectangle we just add the length and the width
and multiply this amount by two.
(40 + 60) * 2 = 200 feet
The answer is given as just feet (not square feet or cubic feet) because we
are measuring length (not area or volume).
