Question

The rectangular room measures 224 square feet long. One side of the room is 14 feet long. What is the perimeter of the room?

Answer 1

60 feet

Explanation:

Area of the rectangular room = Length * Width

Given

Area of the room = 224sq. feet

Length = 14 feet

Find the width first

A = LW

W = A/L

W = 224/14

W = 16 feet

hence the width of the room is 16 feet

Get the perimeter.

Perimeter = 2(L+W)

Perimeter of the room = 2(14+16)

Perimeter of the room = 2(30)

Perimeter of the room = 60 feet

Hence the perimeter of the room is 60 feet
