To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of all four of its sides. For the rectangle shown, the side lengths are 2 ft, 6 ft, 2 ft, and 6 ft, giving the expression $P = 2 + 6 + 2 + 6$.

Conditions: Use all side lengths of the shape.; Units must be consistent; here all lengths are in feet.
