Question

The area of a rectangle is 344 square inches. If the rectangle is 16 inches wide, find the perimeter of the rectangle.

A. 67 inches
B. 72 inches
C. 75 inches
D. 80 inches

Answer 1

C. 75 inches

Explanation:

well if it's a rectangle then we would do A = L x W we are told the Width and the Area

344 = L x 16

344 / 16 = 21.5

P = L + L + W + W

16 + 16 + 21.5 + 21.5

16 + 16 = 32

21.5 + 21.5 = 43

32 + 43 = 75

the perimeter is 75 inches
