Question

The length of a rectangle is

2ft longer than its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is
32ft, find its area.

Answer 1

32 is the perimeter. since the length is 2 more than the width . subtract 4 from 32 and it'll give you 28. then you divide 28 by 4 and it'll give you 7 . so now you know you width is 7. and your length is 11. multiply those two together to get your area , which is 77.

Answer 2

the area of the rectangle is 63 square feet
