The length of the string of the lights is 78 feet.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
P = 2(l + w), where 'l' is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle
For given example,
Len has a rectangular wooden deck that measures 14 feet by 25 feet that he wants to put a string of light around.
The length of the string of the lights = the perimeter of the rectangular wooden deck
Here, length of the deck (l) = 25 ft.
width of the deck (w) = 14 ft.
Using the formula of the perimeter of the rectangle,
⇒ P = 2 × (l + w)
⇒ P = 2 × (25 + 14)
⇒ P = 2 × 39
⇒ P = 78 ft.
The perimeter of the rectangular wooden deck is 78 feet.
Therefore, the length of the string of the lights is 78 feet.
