Calculating the Perimeter of a Rectangle

A rectangle has a length of 8 meters and a width of 3 meters. To find out how much fencing is required to enclose the rectangle, we need to calculate its perimeter. The formula for the perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is given by:

$$ P = 2 imes (length + width) $$

Now, using the length and width provided, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
