To find perimeter you must do 2l+2w so to find the length you have to plug in 5 2(5)+2l 10+2l =16 -10. -10 2l=6 /2. /2 L=3

-- "Perimeter" means all the way around, all four sides.

-- That's two lengths and two widths.

-- So one length and one width is half of the perimeter.

-- If the perimeter is 16-ft, then one length + one width is 8-ft.

-- If the width is 5-ft, then the length is (8 - 5) = 3-ft.

mafiozo [28]

A) The area of the rectangle ABCD is base times height. 20in x 12in = 240 in sq.
B) The area of the triangle AED is base times height divided by two. (14in x 12in)/2 = 84in sq.
C) Figure EBCD is a right trapezoid (having one pair of parallel sides, while the others are slanted and forming a right angle).
D) Area of EBCD is the area of the rectangle minus the area of the triangle. 240in sq - 84in sq = 156in sq.
