How to calculate the Perimeter of a Rectangle?

To calculate the area of a rectangle, you need to add together both lengths of side "a" and both lengths of side "b".

Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2 * a + 2 * b
Example: Calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with a height of 7 cm and width of 12 cm.

P = 2 * a + 2 * b

P = 2 * 7 cm + 2 * 12 cm

P = 14 cm + 24 cm

P = 38 cm
