The area of a rectangle is 256.5m.  If the length is 18m what is the perimeter of the rectangle?


Sagot :

The area of a rectangle equals length times height. (A=LH)

A=256.5 L=18

Plugging in the numbers into the equation, you get 256.5=18H. (like I substituted the numbers in)

next if you divided both sides by 18, it will cancel out the 18 in the 18H side of the equation.

So, it is 256.5/18 equaling H

256.5 divided by 18 is... 14.25

That means the height is 14.25 an the length is 18.

the perimeter is all of the sides added together. in a rectangle, the sides opposite each other are the same.

So you have two sides that are 14.25 and two that are 18 meters long.

14.25+14.25+18+18 equals the perimeter then.

So the answer would be... 64.5!
area = l x b

thus, 256.5 = 18 x b

thus b = 256.5/18
= 14.25

thus, breadth is 14.25 meters

Now perimeter = 2l + 2b

= 36 + 28.5

= 64.5

Thus, perimeter of the rectangle is 64.5 meters
