Question

HELLP The length of the garden measures 5.38 meters and the width measures 3.5 meters. What is the area of the garden? What is the perimeter of the garden?

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of the rectangle's four sides. If you have only the width and the height, then you can easily find all four sides (two sides are each equal to the height and the other two sides are equal to the width). Multiply both the height and width by two and add the results.

Answer 2

The area is 18.83 meters². The perimeter is 17.76 meters.

Explanation:

To find the area you need to multiply the width and the length. So you need to use the equation
`5.38*3.5`. That equals 18.83. That is the area.

To find the perimeter you need to add
`5.38+5.38+3.5+3.5`. You need to use this equation because there are 4 sides; 2 lengths and 2 widths. This adds up to 17.76
