Question

The

perimeter of a rectangle is 75
ft and the length is 27 ft. What is
the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

The area is 283.5 feet squared. The perimeter is equal to the length and width twice, so you would do 75 - 27 -27 and get 21. You would then divide 21 by two since 21 is equal to twice the width and then get 10.5. Area is equal to length times width so you would do 10.5 x 27 and get 283.5.
