The length of a rectangular classroom is 60 feet. the perimeter if the classroom is 220 feet. what is the area of the classroom

1 answer:

4 0

Length = 60 feet
Perimeter = 220 feet

There's four sides to a rectangle if one side is 60 then that means there are two sides that 60 because they are opposite each other.

So side A=60 and side B = 60

Now you have two sides left. Add the two sides you have to get 120

Subtract 120 from 220 = 100

Now divide 100 by 2 to get the remainder side lengths which is 50

So side C=50 and side D=50

Area is base times height so in this case it would be 50 times 60 since those are adjacent sides

And your answer is 3000 feet

Hope this helped!

Which two choices are equivalent to the fraction below 4/6

The choices b and c are equivalent to $\frac{4}{6}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

First, we need to bring the fraction $\frac{4}{6}$ to its simplest form. To do so, we divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest factor.

The greatest factor for 4 and 6 is 2. So we divide it by 2.

So $\frac{4}{2}=2, \frac{6}{2}=3, \frac{4}{6}= \frac{2}{3}$ .
