The perimeter of a rectangular field is 56 m and its length is 16 m, find its area.
Answers
Answer:
In this question the perimeter and length of the rectangular pool are given we have to find width of the pool.
( diagram )
The perimeter P of a rectangular is given by formula P=2l+2w where l is the length and w is width of rectangle.
Given that perimeter is 56 meters and length's 16 meters. Substituting values in formula,
⇒56=32+2w
subtract 32 from both sides -
⇒24=2w
w=12
width of rectangular pool is 12 meters.
Hence, the answer is 12.
