Question

Kevin's bathroom floor has an area of 24 square feet. The width of the floor is 4 feet. What is the perimeter of Kevin's bathroom floor? feet

Answer 1

Assuming that the bathroom floor is a rectangle, the area of the rectangle is equal to the product between the width and length:

`A=wl`

Given that the area is 24ft² and the width is 4ft, you can calculate the length of the rectangular floor as follows:

`\begin{gathered} A=wl\to l=(A)/(w) \\ l=(24)/(4) \\ l=6ft \end{gathered}`

The length of the bathroom floor is 6ft.

Now you can calculate its perimeter by applying the formula:

`\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ P=2\cdot6+2\cdot4 \\ P=12+8 \\ P=20 \end{gathered}`

The perimeter of the bathroom floor is 20 feet
