A rectangular school banner has a length of 44 inches, a perimeter of 156 inches, and an area of 1,496 square inches. the cheerleaders make signs similar to the banner. the length of a sign is 11 inches. First solve the width of the rectangle:

1496 sq in/ 44 = 34 in

So the sign has also a width of 34 in and a length of 11 so the area is 34*11 =374 sq in

The perimeter is (34*2) +(11*2) =90 in
