Perimeter is 18 inches.
Given:
The length of the rectangle is, l = 5 inches.
The width of the reactangle is, b = 4 inches.
The objective is to find the perimeter of the rectangle.
The formula to find the perimeter of the rectangle is,
[tex]P=2(l+b)[/tex]Now, substitute the given values in the above formula.
[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2(5+4) \\ P=2(9) \\ P=18\text{ inches.} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the perimeter of the rectangle is 18 inches.
