The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of an object.

If the bakery is a rectangle, the equation for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P=(2 x length) + (2 x width). Therefore, if the bakery is a rectangle its perimeter would be:P=(2 x 16) + (2 x 10)=$52

The length and the width are multiplied by 2 because a rectangle has a total of 4 sides. The above equation can be written like this as well: P= length + width + length + width

The wooden shelving cost $24 per meter, the baker's self costs will be $24x = $52

x= 52/24

$2.167, therefore the costs of Baker's self is $2.167ans
