Question

A blanket is 3 feet its perimeter is 16 what is its area

Answer 1

The area is 48. Because you have to multiply 3 times 16 because to find the area you need to multiply two numbers because it is a 2 dimensional figure. So the answer is 48.

Answer 2

A blanket is rectangular in shape, so its perimeter=2(l+b)
16=2*3+2*l
2L=16-6=10
L=10/2= 5
Area=l*b=3*5=15feet
