Question

A rectangular playground is 8 meters wide. It is 3 times as long as it is wide. What is the area of the playground?

Answer 1

The width of the playground is 8m.

Now it's length is three times more than its width.
thus its length is 8*3 = 24.

The area thus is 24*8 = 192

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of the playground = 192m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of a rectangular playground:

width (w) = 8 m

Length (l) = 3 times of width

= 3×8 m

= 24 m

Now ,

Area of the playground (A)

= l × w

= 24 m × 8 m

= 192 m²

Therefore,

Area of the playground = 192m²
