A vacant lot in the shape of a rectangle measures 110 feet by 30 feet A)what is the perimeter of the lot?B)what is the area of the lot?

Sagot :

SOLUTION

Since the vacant lot has the shape of a rectangle;

A. To measure the perimeter, we will use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle given as

[tex]P=2(l+b)[/tex]

Where L is the length and b is the breadth or width

So, the perimeter becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2(l+b) \\ P=2(110+30) \\ P=2(140) \\ P=2\times140 \\ P=180ft \end{gathered}[/tex]

B. The area of a rectangle is given as

[tex]A=l\times b[/tex]

So, the area becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=110\times30 \\ A=3300ft^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the Perimeter is 180 feet and the Area is 3300 square-feet.
