The area of a rectangle is 265.5 m2. If the length is 18 m, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
1 answer:
Answer:
65.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. Find the width of the rectangle.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is
A = lw
Data:
A = 265.5 m²
l = 18 m
Calculation:
265.5 = 18w
w = 265.5/18 = 14.75 m
Step 2. Calculate the perimeter
The perimeter (P) of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides.
P = 2(l + w) = 2(18 + 14.75) = 2 × 32.75 = 65.5 m
The perimeter of the rectangle is 65.5 m.

Answer:
600 m³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- length of swimming pool = 30 m
- width of swimming pool = 10 m
- depth at deep end = 3 m
- depth at shallow end = 1 m
To find the volume of the water in the pool, find the area of a cross section (see attached image) and multiply it by the width of the pool.
<u>Area of cross section</u>
= area of rectangle - area of triangle
= (3 × 30) - [1/2 × 30 × (3 - 1)]
= 90 - 30
= 60 m²
<u>Volume of pool</u>
= area of cross section × width
= 60 × 10
= 600 m³
