Area of the rectangle is 69 feet²

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

To solve the above questions, we need to recall some of the formulas as follows:

Area of Rectangle = Length × Width

Perimeter of Rectangle = 2 × ( Length + Width )

Let us now tackle the problem !

<u>Given:</u>

Perimeter of Rectangle = P = 35¹/₂ feet

Length of Rectangle = L = 12 feet

<u>Unknown:</u>

Area of Rectangle = A = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

This problem is about Area and Perimeter of Rectangle.

<em>Let's find the width of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Perimeter of Rectangle} = 2( \texttt{Length} + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} = 2( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

35\frac{1}{2} \div 2 = ( 12 + \texttt{Width} )

17\frac{3}{4} = ( 12 + \texttt{Width})

\texttt{Width} = 17\frac{3}{4} - 12

\texttt{Width} = \boxed {5\frac{3}{4} ~ \texttt{feet}}

<em>Let's find the area of Rectangle.</em>

\texttt{Area of Rectangle} = \texttt{Length} \times \texttt{Width}

A = L \times W

A = 12 \times 5\frac{3}{4}

A = \boxed {69 ~ \texttt{feet}^2}

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 69 feet squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that perimeter is all of the sides of an object added together. Since the length is 12 feet, that means that 24 feet (2 sides of the rectangle) is the length. That leaves us with 11 1/2 feet. This needs to be divided by 2 to find the width since there are 2 sides for width. 11 1/2 / 2 = 5 3/4. To find the area.  (l x w), you can multiply 12 by 5 3/4 to get 69. Now write the correct units which are feet squared.

Since each leg of the large trapezoid is bisected, then HJ is the average of the lengths of KL and NM.

HJ = (KL + NM)/2

2(HJ) = KL + nm

2(5x + 2) = 4x + 1 + 27

10x + 4 = 4x + 28

6x = 24

x = 4

KL = 4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17

Answer: KL = 17

Answer:

T = 4B + 10C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 4 doughnuts in a bag then there are 4B doughnuts in B bags

Since there are 10 doughnuts in a carton then there are 10C doughnuts in C cartons, thus summing the two quantities gives

T = 4B + 10C
