The length of one side of a square is (x + 2 1/4). If the perimeter is 14 units, what is the area?

The perimeter is the total of adding all of the side lengths together.

A square has 4 equal side lengths.

So the perimeter of a square is:

P = s + s + s + s  or  P = 4s

[P = perimeter       s = side lengths of the square]


Since you know the side length of the square is (x + 2 1/4), you can replace s with (x + 2 1/4)

P = 4s

P = 4(x + 2 1/4)  Multiply 4 into (x + 2 1/4)

P = 4x + 8 4/4

P = 4x + 9

Since you know the perimeter, you can plug it in.(you could have also plugged it in in the beginning)

P = 4x + 9

14 = 4x + 9  Subtract 9 on both sides

5 = 4x  Divide 4 on both sides

5/4 = x


Now that you know x, find the side length of the square.

(x + 2 1/4)

(5/4 + 2 1/4)

2 6/4 = 3 2/4 = 3 1/2 units or 3.5 units


To find the area of a square, you multiply 2 of the sides together:

A = s · s  

A = 3.5 · 3.5

A = 12.25 units²

The rectangle below has sides measuring 6cm and 5 cm. What is the area of this rectangle<br>​
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:30 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area is found by two side lengths multiplied together, the two side lengths in the problem are 5cm and 6cm, 5 times 6 is 30, (plus add the measurement) which is 30 cm. :))

2. Find the area and circumference of the circle to the right.<br>16.6 m<br>​
adoni [48]

Answer:

AREA:

A=216.42m^2

CIRCUMFERENCE:

C=52.15m

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the area of a circle is:

A=\pi r^2

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

The formula for calculate the circumference of a circle is:

C=2\pi r

Where "r" is the radius of the circle.

Then, you need to find the radius. This is:

r=\frac{16.6m}{2}=8.3m

Substituting the radius, you get that the area and the circumference are:

AREA:

A=\pi (8.3m)^2=216.42m^2

CIRCUMFERENCE:

 C=2\pi (8.3m)=52.15m
