Question

Calculate the area of a rectangular field with perimeter 88 cm and length 18 cm​

Answer 1

The area of the rectangular field is 468cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

If, length is 18cm; width is unknown( let x represent width). Then,

Perimeter of a rectangle= Length + Width+ Length + Width

88= 18 + x + 18 + x

88= 36 + 2x

88-36 =2x

52= 2x

52/2=2x/2

26=x

•x=26cm

The width of the rectangle is 26cm.

Area of a rectangle= Length × Width

=18cm×26cm

= 468cm².
