Answer:

Area = length × width

72 = 9 × width

8 = width (9 × 8 = 72)

pertinter = length + width + length + width

= 9 + 8 + 9 + 8

perimeter = 34

Answer:

perimeter: 34 m

Explanation:

  • length : 9
  • area : 72

width * length = area

  • width * 9 = 72
  • width = 72/9
  • width = 8 m

perimeter:

  • 2 ( length + width )
  • 2 ( 9 + 8 )
  • 34 m
