Question

A rectangle has an area of 102 cm2. The length of the rectangle is 17 cm.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Answer 1

The area formula is length times width, and since the length is 17 cm in this case, 17 times width = 102, so we must divide 102 divided by 17, and you will get 6. The perimeter formula is 2 times the length plus 2 times the width, so
2(17) + 2(6), which gives us 46, so the perimiter is 46.
