A classroom notice board is 19 mm long and 12 mm wide. What is its perimeter?
Note
Perimeter means the total distance around the boundary. For a rectangle, perimeter = 2 × (length + breadth) = 2 × (19 + 12) = 62 mm. Notice that both measurements are lengths, but the answer is in square units because we are counting how many unit squares cover the surface. Do not add the sides here; adding sides is used for perimeter, not area. So the correct choice is 62 mm.
