s to be 256 square yards for the children to use it safely. The playground will be rectangular.
The city will also put a fence around the playground. The perimeter, P, of the fence includes the gates. To save money, the city wants the least perimeter of fencing for the area of 256 square yards.
Jovana was trying to find a formula for that perimeter with one side 8 yards longer than the other side using the area. In which step did she make a mistake? Explain her mistake and give the correct formula.

Answer:
42 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The attachment shows a couple of ways the figure can be considered.
a) Left and Right rectangles that are 5 cm high and 3 cm wide, together with a central rectangle that is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×3 + 3×4 + 5×3 = 15 + 12 + 15 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
b) An enclosing rectangle that is 5 cm high and 10 cm wide with a cut-out that is 2 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×10 -2×4 = 50 -8 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
The area of the irregular figure is 42 cm².
