Question

the figure below shows a rectangular parking lot. 88 yd 62 yd (a) use the calculator to find the perimeter and area of the parking lot. make sure to include the correct units. perimeter: area: (b) a chain will surround the lot. which measure would be used in finding the amount of chain needed? perimeter area (c) the lot will be paved. which measure would be used in finding the amount of pavement needed? perimeter area

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter formula for a rectangle is $P = 2(l + w)$, where $l = 88$ yd and $w=62$ yd.
$P=2(88 + 62)$

Step2: Calculate perimeter

$P=2\times150=300$ yd

Step3: Recall area formula

The area formula for a rectangle is $A=l\times w$, with $l = 88$ yd and $w = 62$ yd.
$A=88\times62$

Step4: Calculate area

$A = 5456$ yd²

Step5: Answer part (b)

The amount of chain needed to surround the lot is given by the perimeter.

Step6: Answer part (c)

The amount of pavement needed to cover the lot is given by the area.

Answer:

(a) Perimeter: 300 yd
Area: 5456 yd²
(b) Perimeter
(c) Area
