Question

the figure below shows a rectangular field.
13 yd
20 yd
(a) use the calculator to find the area and perimeter of the field.
make sure to include the correct units.
area:
perimeter:
yd yd² yd³

Explanation:

Step1: Recall formulas for rectangle

For a rectangle with length \( l \) and width \( w \), area \( A = l \times w \), perimeter \( P = 2(l + w) \). Here, \( l = 13 \) yd, \( w = 20 \) yd.

Step2: Calculate Area

\( A = 13 \times 20 = 260 \) square yards (\( \text{yd}^2 \)).

Step3: Calculate Perimeter

\( P = 2(13 + 20) = 2\times33 = 66 \) yards (\( \text{yd} \)).

Answer:

Area: \( 260 \text{ yd}^2 \)
Perimeter: \( 66 \text{ yd} \)
