Perimeter of rectangle

Question

Area of a rectangle is 378 square yards, with a width of 9 yards. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Hi Tequana,

for rectangles,

area = length * width

perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

first you need to find the length based on the area and width

length * 9 = 378

length = 42

now, you can find the perimeter

= 2 * (42 + 9) = 102 yards

please let me know if you need further help.
