Question

the figure below shows a rectangular parking lot. 64 yd 84 yd (a) use the calculator to find the perimeter and area of the parking lot. make sure to include the correct units. perimeter: area:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$, where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width. Here, $l = 84$ yd and $w = 64$ yd. So $P=2(84 + 64)$.

Step2: Calculate perimeter

$P=2\times148=296$ yd.

Step3: Recall area formula

The area $A$ of a rectangle is $A=l\times w$. So $A = 84\times64$.

Step4: Calculate area

$A=5376$ yd².

Answer:

Perimeter: 296 yd
Area: 5376 yd²
