Perimeter = 2 ( l + b )

=> 2 ( 6 + 4 )

=> 12 + 8

=> 20cm

Answer 2

Answer:

a) THE WIDTH OF THE ROOM IS 4m

b) THE PERIMETER OF THE ROOM IS 20m

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

   AREA OF THE ROOM = 24m²

   LENGTH OF THE ROOM = 6m

   LET THE WIDTH OF THE ROOM BE x

   SO,

   WE KNOW,

   AREA = LENGTH * BREADTH

    24m² = 6m*x

    x = 24m²/6m

    x = 4m

  SO,

  THE WIDTH OF THE ROOM IS 4m

b)

  PERIMETER = 2(LENGTH + WIDTH)

                       = 2(6m+4m)

                       = 2*10m

                       = 20m

SO,

THE PERIMETER OF THE ROOM IS 20 m
