Question

The perimeter of a notebook is 28

inches. The area is 48 square inches.
What are the dimensions of the
notebook?

Answer 1

Area = length x width

Half the perimeter = length + width

half the perimeter = 14 inches.

Find 2 numbers when added together = 14 and when multiplied together = 48

6 + 8 = 14

6 x 8 = 48

the dimensions are 6 inches by 8 inches
