Question

A rectangular fence measures 26 ft by 18 ft.Find the perimeter and area.

Answer 1

• (a)468 ft²

,

• (b)88 ft

Explanation:

Given a rectangular fence with the dimensions below:

• Length = 26 ft

,

• Width = 18 ft

(a)The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

`Area=\text{Length}* Width`

Substitute the given values:

`A=26*18=468\; ft^2`

The area of the fence is 468 ft².

(b)The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:

`Perimeter=2(\text{Length+}Width)`

Substitute the given values:

`P=2(26+18)=2*44=88\; ft`

The perimeter of the fence is 88 ft.
