Question

use a two - dimensional model and the dimensions provided to calculate the perimeter and area of the vehicle. round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. perimeter: ft area: ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for rectangle

For a rectangle with length $l$ and width $w$, the perimeter $P = 2(l + w)$. Here $l=14.8$ ft and $w = 6.25$ ft.
$P=2(14.8 + 6.25)$

Step2: Calculate the perimeter

$P=2\times21.05=42.1$ ft

Step3: Recall area formula for rectangle

The area $A$ of a rectangle is $A=l\times w$. So $A = 14.8\times6.25$

Step4: Calculate the area

$A=14.8\times6.25 = 92.5$ $ft^{2}$

Answer:

perimeter: $42.1$ ft
area: $92.5$ $ft^{2}$
