Calculate Rectangle Perimeter: Solving ABCD with Given Segments 5 and 3

Question

ABCD and EBFC are rectangles.

Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD.

00:00 Find the perimeter of rectangle ABCD

00:03 Opposite sides are equal in a rectangle

00:07 The perimeter of the rectangle equals the sum of its sides

00:13 Let's substitute appropriate values and solve for the perimeter

00:17 We don't have enough data to solve

00:20 And this is the solution to the question

Since every pair of opposite sides are equal to each other in a rhombus, we know that:

$EF=BC=AD=5$

$FC=EB=3$

To calculate side AB, we must use the following formula:

$AB=AE+EB$

As we are only given the length of EB, we don't have enough information and cannot calculate the lengths of the other sides.
