Question

Elie built a large rectangular vegetable garden that i 9 meter long and ha an area of 72 quare meter. What i the perimeter of Elie’ vegetable garden

Answer 1

The perimeter of Elie's vegetable garden is 34 meters.

Explanation:

The formula for area is: a=w*l.

A = area

W = width

L = length

If the length is 9 meters, then we know two of the values, the area, and the length. Substitute.

72=w*9

You can divide both sides by 9 to get the width, which is 8 meters.

To find perimeter, we add l+w+l+w, or 2l+2w. Substitute for our values:

2(9)+2(8)=34

The perimeter of Elie's vegetable garden is 34 meters.
