Answer: 162 in²

Explanation:

The factors of 54 are listed below:

  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 6
  • 9
  • 18
  • 27
  • 54

18 and 9 are the two factors that when plugged into the equation below, equals 54:


l+l+w+w=P

This can also be written as:


(l*2)+(w*2)=P

So now that we have our two factors, we need to multiply them by each other to get our answer.

18 times 9 = 162

Our answer is 162
