Answer:

P = 50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L*W

L = 4W

then

100 = 4W*W

100 = 4W^2

W^2 = 100/4

W^2 = 25

W = 5 ft

Then

L= 4(5)

L= 20 ft

P = 2L + 2W

Then

P = 2(20) + 2(5)

P = 40 + 10

P = 50 ft

Apply the Pythagoras Theorem

${c }^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
${9 }^{2} = {7}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
$81 = 49+ {b}^{2}$
$81 - 49 = {b}^{2}$
$32= {b}^{2}$
Take square root of both sides

$b = \sqrt{32}$
$b = 4 \sqrt{2}$
