Considering the area of a rectangle, it is found that the area of Bob's remaining plot of land is of 12.5 acres.

<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>

The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by the multiplication of these dimensions, that is:
A = lw.

In this problem, both the length and the width are divided in half, hence the proportion remaining is given by:

A = 0.5l x 0.5w = 0.25lw = 25% of the initial area.

Hence:

0.25 x 50 = 12.5.

The area of Bob's remaining plot of land is of 12.5 acres.

If you know the area of a rectangle can you predict its perimeter? Explain
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

No.  The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.

If you know the area, you only know the <em><u>product</u></em> of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.

In fact, you can draw an infinite number of <em><u>different</u></em> rectangles
that all have the <em>same</em> area but <em><u>different</u></em> perimeters.

Here.  Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256.  What is its perimeter ?

-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02
