Question

THE BREADTH OF A RECTANGULAR PIECE OF MAT IS 16 m AND ITS AREA IS 288 sq .m. FIND ITS LENGTH AND PERIMETER

Answer 1

Answer:

Length = 18m and Perimeter = 68m

Step-by-step explanation:

Breadth of the rectangular piece of mat = 16m

Area = 288²m

Length = Let it be xm

Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth

288²m = x × 16

288/16 = x

18 = x

x = 18

So length = 18m

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 × (L + B)

= 2 × (18 + 16)

= 2 × 34

= 68m
