Question

Identify the perimeter of a rectangle in which h = 8 ft and A = 144x ft². Please Give Me THe Explanation and the Answer. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME.

Answer 1

A rectangle has 2 dimensions, width and height.

The area is equal to the width times the height, therefore the width is equal to the area divided by the height.

Once you know the width and the height, the perimeter is simply width + height + width + height.

Answer 2

Area = width x height

which means, 144 = 8 x height

So, height = 16 ft.

Now, perimeter = 2 x ( width + height )

= 2 x (16 + 8 ) = 48 ft.
