Question

example 6: the length of a rectangle is 62 feet and the width is 48 feet. find ① the perimeter and ② the area.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

$P = 2(l + w)$
$P=2(62 + 48)$

Step2: Calculate perimeter

$P = 2\times110=220$ feet

Step3: Recall area formula

$A=l\times w$
$A = 62\times48$

Step4: Calculate area

$A=2976$ square - feet

Answer:

a. 220 feet
b. 2976 square feet
