Question

A rectangle is 2 meters wide and 6 times as long as it is wide. Find the area and perimeter.

Answer 1

Area = 24 m²

Perimeter = 36 m

Explanation:

width (w) = 2 m

length (l) = 6 x w = 6 x 2 = 12 m

Area = w x l = 2 x 12 = 24 m²

Perimeter = w + w + l + l = 2w + 2l = 2 x 6 + 2 x 12 = 12 + 24 = 36 m
