The length of a rectangle is 6 m longer than its width.

Answer:

55m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is l x w (width x height)

We know that the length (l) of the rectangle is 6m longer than its width (w), then:

(1) l = w + 6

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 32m, so:

(2) 2l + 2w = 32

Now substitute the value of l in (1) for l in (2):

2(w + 6) + 2w = 32

Distribute:

2w + 12 + 2w = 32

Combine like terms and subtract 12 from both sides:

4w = 20

Divide both sides by 4:

w = 20/4 = 5 (so the width is 5m)

Find the length (use (1)):

l = 5 + 6 = 11m (length of rectangle)

Then, the area is:

A = l x w = 5 x 11 = 55m^2

What is the area of the polygon ABCDE?
Setler [38]
The answer is 73.5

To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.

5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)

To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)

9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.

Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
