Question

the preimter of a rectangel measures 78 centimterers the measure of the with is 15 cenimeters what is the area of the rectangel

Answer 1

360 cm^2

Explanation:

The length of the rectangle can be found using the formula for perimeter:

Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)

Rearranging the equation, we can solve for the length:

length = (Perimeter - 2 * width) / 2

Plugging in the given values:

length = (78 - 2 * 15) / 2 = (78 - 30) / 2 = 48 / 2 = 24 cm

Next, the area of the rectangle can be found using the formula:

Area = length * width

Plugging in the given values:

Area = 24 * 15 = 360 cm^2
