Perimeter is the distance around an object.
Add the side lengths of the rectangle to find the perimeter.
5 feet + 10 feet + 5 feet + 10 feet = 30 feet
First, find the sum of the side lengths that are given.
5 feet + 10 feet + 5 feet = 20 feet
Then, subtract the sum from the perimeter.
24 feet - 20 feet = 4 feet
The length of the missing side is 4 feet.
