Question

Gavin goes to the market and buys one rectangle shaped board. The length of the board is 16 cm and width of board is 10 cm. If he wants to add a 2 cm wooden border around the board, what will be the area of the rectangle board?

Answer 1

The answer is 216

Explanation:

if there is a 2 cm border, that means that the sides will both become 2 centimeters longer. so (16+2)*(10*2) = 18*12 = 216.
