Question

The rectangular room measures 224 square feet. One side of the room is 14 feet long. What is the perimeter of the room? Hint: find the width first

Answer 1

Answer: 60 feet

Explanation

formula for a rectangle bh=A

plug in known variables

14b=224

divide by 14

b=16

perimeter can be deducted by adding b + b + a+a = P

so

16 + 16 +14 +14

32+28

60 = P
