Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the rectangle

The formula for the area of a rectangle is \( A = l \times w \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width. Here, \( l = 78 \) yd and \( w = 29 \) yd.
\( A = 78 \times 29 \)
\( 78\times29 = 2262 \) square yards.

Step2: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \( P = 2(l + w) \).
Substitute \( l = 78 \) yd and \( w = 29 \) yd into the formula.
\( P = 2(78 + 29) \)
First, calculate the sum inside the parentheses: \( 78 + 29 = 107 \)
Then, multiply by 2: \( 2\times107 = 214 \) yards.

Answer:

Area: \( 2262 \) square yards
Perimeter: \( 214 \) yards
