Answer:
Width = 3/4 units or 0.75 units
perimeter of the rectangle = 23/2 = 11 1/2 units or 11.5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has two opposite sides equal in length. The 2 opposite sides are also parallel to each other.
The area of a rectangle = LW
where
L = length
W = width
The area of the rectangle = 3 3/4 units² = 15/4 units²
Length = 5 units
Therefore,
15/4 = 5W
multiply both sides by 4
15 = 20W
divide both sides by 20
W = 15/20
W = 3/4
Width = 3/4
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2L + 2W
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(5 + 3/4)
perimeter of the rectangle = 2(23/4)
perimeter of the rectangle = 23/2 = 11 1/2 units or 11.5 units
