What is the perimeter of a rectangle that is 5 meters long and 3 meters wide?

15 meters
20 meters
18 meters
16 meters

The correct answer is: 15 meters

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you can use the formula: Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width). In this case, the length of the rectangle is 5 meters, and the width is 3 meters. Plugging these values into the formula gives: Perimeter = 2 × (5 meters + 3 meters) = 2 × (8 meters) = 16 meters. Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 16 meters. This aligns with the calculation based on the defined dimensions of the rectangle, leading to the conclusion that the perimeter is accurately determined. The other options represent different calculations that do not utilize the correct perimeter formula or accurately account for the dimensions given. For instance, values such as 15 meters and 20 meters reflect incorrect summations or multiplications of the dimensions. Understanding the proper application of the perimeter formula is crucial for solving similar problems correctly.
