Question

Answer 2(4/3w + w)the perimeter is 28 inches.what is the area of the rectangle?

Answer 1

2(4/3w+w) = 28” 
(7/3w)=28”/2 
3(7/3w) = 14”(3) 
7w=42” 
w=6" 
Formula for perimeter is 2L + 2w = perimeter 
2L + 2(6”) = 28” 
2L = 28” - 12” 
2L = 16”
 L = 16”/2
 L= 8”
 Area = L(w)
 Area = 8”(6”)
 Area = 48 square inches
