Question

The area of a rectangle is 229.2 m2. If the length is 15 m, what is the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{P=60.56\ m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

$A=lw$

l - length

w - width

We have

$A=229.2\ m^2\\\l=15\ m$

Substitute:

$15w=229.2$          divide both sides by 15

$w=15.28\ m$

The formula of a perimeter of a rectangle:

$P=2(l+w)$

Substitute:

$P=2(15+15.28)=2(30.28)=60.56\ m$
