1. A rectangle has a length of 12 meters and a width of 400 centimeters. What is
the perimeter, in cm, of the rectangle?
A. 824 cm
B. 1,600 cm
C. 2,000 cm
D. 3,200 cm
In order to get from meters to centimeters, you multiply by 100. Therefore, you do 12 x 100 which equals 1200. From there you multiply 1200 x 2 and add that onto 400 x 2. (or 1200+1200+400+400)
