Question

The length of a rectangle is 50 meters and the width is 24 meters. Find the perimeter and the area.

Answer 1

`Area = 1200m^2`

`Perimeter = 148m`

Explanation:

To find the area, just multiply the length by the width. In fact, we have a simple formula for this:

`A(area) = lw`

`l(length) = 50`

`w(width)= 24`

Now, we need to plug in our values:

`A(area)= 50*24`

Simplify:

`A(area) = 1200`

Therfore, the area of the rectangle is:

`1200m^2`

Now, lets move on to the perimeter(again, we have a simple formula!):

`P(perimeter) = 2(l+w)`

Plug in our values from before:

`P(perimeter)= 2(50 + 24)`

Simplify:

`P(perimeter)= 2(74)`

Multiply it out:

`P(perimeter) = 148`

Therfore, the perimeter of your rectangle is 148 m

Always remember to include the proper units and format your work well to minimize mistakes and leave less room for error.

I hope this helped!
