Solution

Sure, let's calculate the perimeter of the rectangular poster step by step.

  1. Identify the dimensions of the rectangle:

    • Length (L) = 24 inches
    • Width (W) = 18 inches
  2. Recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter=2×(Length+Width) \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{Length} + \text{Width})

  3. Substitute the given values into the formula: Perimeter=2×(24 inches+18 inches) \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (24 \text{ inches} + 18 \text{ inches})

  4. Perform the addition inside the parentheses: 24 inches+18 inches=42 inches 24 \text{ inches} + 18 \text{ inches} = 42 \text{ inches}

  5. Multiply by 2 to find the perimeter: Perimeter=2×42 inches=84 inches \text{Perimeter} = 2 \times 42 \text{ inches} = 84 \text{ inches}

So, the perimeter of the poster is 84 inches.
