Question

Megan’s art class painted two regular murals.The size of the first mural is shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:C) 4 feet and 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the first mural is shown. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(L + W)

The length of the first mural is given as 8ft while the width of the first mural is given as 6 ft. The perimeter becomes

P = 2(8 + 6) = 2×14 = 28ft

The area of a rectangle is expressed as L×W

The area if the first mural would be

6 × 8 = 48ft^2

The second mural has the same area as the first mural but has a different perimeter. The side lengths of the second mural are

4 ft and 12ft

Area = 4×12 = 48 ft^2

Perimeter = 2(12+4) = 32ft

So area is the same and perimeter is different.
