Question

Answer 2(4/3w + w)

the perimeter is 28 inches.
what is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

2(4/3w+w) = 28”
(7/3w)=28”/2
3(7/3w) = 14”(3)
7w=42”
w=6"
Formula for perimeter is 2L + 2w = perimeter
2L + 2(6”) = 28”
2L = 28” - 12”
2L = 16”
L = 16”/2
L= 8”
Area = L(w)
Area = 8”(6”)
Area = 48 square inches
