Question

A rectangle has an area of 75.2m2.

One of the sides is 0.8m in length.
Work out the perimeter of the rectangle.

Answer 1

189.6m

Explanation:

Area of reactangle= side₁ ×side₂

Let the other side of the rectangle be x meters.

Area of rectangle= 75.2m²

0.8x= 75.2

x= 75.2 ÷0.8

x= 94

Perimeter of rectangle

= 2(side₁ +side₂)

= 2(0.8 +94)

= 189.6 m
