Question

A garden pond is 6 feet wide. The perimeter of the pond is 28 feet. What is the area of the pond?

Answer 1

168 is the area of the pond (not sure yet)

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, area of the pond is 48 feet².

Step-by-step explanation:

Since perimeter of a rectangle is represented by 2(length + width)

It has been given in the question perimeter = 28 feet and width = 6 feet.

So perimeter = 2 (l + w )

           28 = 2 ( l + 6 )

          14 = ( l + 6)

           l = 14 - 6 = 8 feet

Now area of the pond = area of rectangle = Length × width

                                     = 6 × 8

                                    =  48 feet²

Therefore, area of the pond is 48 feet².
