Question

Mr. Marco painted a picture with an area of 2 2/4 square feet. The painting is 2 feet long. What is the perimeter of the painting?

Answer 1

Step 1: Replace the variables with numbers

A=lw
A=2(1.25)
A= 2.5 (Fraction 2 2/4)

Step 2: Use the perimeter formula (P=l+w+l+w or P=(l+w)2)

P=(l+w)2
P=(2+1.25)2
P=(3.25)2
P=6.5

Answer is 6.5 I hope this helped ^^
