Question

A rectangular garden has a perimeter of 36 yards and a width of 8 yards.

What is the area of the garden?
72 square yards
80 square yards
100 square yards
112 square yards

Answer 1

80 square yards

Explanation:

We know we have a width of 8 yards and a perimeter of 36.

how I figured it out was:

36=(8*2) * (x*2)

8*2=16

36-16=10

So now we know the length and width.

area of a rectangle is lw (length * width)

10*8=80.
