Question

Ms. Sanchez will use 42 square carpet tiles to make a reading area in her classroom. Each side of the carpet

tiles are 1 foot. She will make an area in the shape of a rectangle that is 3 feet wide. What is the perimeter of the
rectangle?

Answer 1

perimeter = 34 feet

Explanation:

Since there is 42 tiles I divided it by 3 = 14

And the formula to find perimeter is p=2(l + w)

so I did 2(14 + 3) = 34 feet
