Question

A rectangle has an area of 102 cm2. The length of the rectangle is 17 cm.

what is the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

The answer is P = 46 centimeters

Answer 2

Perimeter of the rectangle is 46 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The area of a rectangle,
`A=102\ cm^2`

Length of the rectangle, l = 17 cm

We need to find the perimeter of the rectangle. We know that the area of the rectangle is given by :

`A=l* b`

`102=17* b`

b = 6 cm

The perimeter of the rectangle is given by :

`P=2(l+b)`

`P=2(17+6)`

P = 46 cm

So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 46 cm. Hence, this is the required solution.
