Question

A rectangular flowerbed at a city park has an area of 126 square meters.the width of the flowerbed is 3 meters.what is the perimeter of the flowerbed?

Answer 1

First we need to find the length. So we do 126/3 to get 42. The length is 42. Now to find perimeter we do 2(42)+2(3) or 42+42+3+3.

Both ways are right ways. The perimeter is 90 meters.

Hope that helps!!
