For a rectangle, perimeter = 2 \u00d7 (length + breadth) = 2 \u00d7 (29 + 10) = 78 cm. 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.
