Question

If a rectangle has a perimeter of 10 feet and is 2 feet wide, whats the area?

Answer 1

6 ft^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

Perimter= 10 feet

Width= 2 feet

Let us find the Length first

From

P= 2L+2W

substiute

10=2*L+2*2

10=2L+4

collect like terms

2L= 10-4

2L= 6

divide both sides by 2

L=6/2

L=3 feet

Area= L*W

Area= 3*2

Area= 6 ft^2
