Question

A rectangular sandbox has a width of 555 units. The sandbox is 555 times as long as it is wide.
What is the perimeter of the sandbox?

Answer 1

The perimeter of the sandbox is 617160ft.

Width of the rectangular sand box = b =555 ft  (Given)

Length of the rectangular sandbox = l = 555  (Given)

Area of the box = l × b

= 555 × 555

= 308025 ft

Perimeter of the rectangular box = 2(l+b)

= 2 (308025+555)

= 2 × 308580

= 617160

Hence, perimeter is 617160ft.

Answer 2

Perimeter of sandbox=617160 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that ,

$Perimeter\ of\ rectangle=2(length\times breadth)$

It is given that, breadth=555

                        $length= 555\times 555$

                                   = 308,025

$Perimeter\ of\ sandbox=2(308025+ 555)$

                                   =2(308580)

                                   =617160 units.
