The area of a shaped-rug is 144 ft. What is the perimeter, in feet, of the rug

Answer 1

IF it's square shaped, then each side is 12 feet, with perimeter =4(12) = 48 feet

IF an equilateral triangular shaped, Perimeter = 54.71 feet

IF it's circular shaped, then the perimeter (circumference) = 42.54 feet

If it's any other shape, all you know is 42.54 < Perimeter < + infinity

but if it's a regular polygon, with sides equal, then 42.54 < Perimeter < 54.71 feet. The more sides it has the closer to the perimeter of a circle.

Rugs though tend to be square or rectangular. As a square perimeter = 48 ft.

but as a rectangle, the perimeter could be infinite. 48<perimeter<+inf
