The length is 12 cm more than its width . Find the area of the rectangle if it's perimeter is 100 cm

1 answer:

6 0

Let's say the width is (x) and the width is (x+12). The formula for a perimeter of a rectangle equals 2w + 2l, which would then for this problem be 100=2(x) + 2(x+12) which would distribute as 2x + 2x + 12 which equals 4x+12. When you subtract twelve from 100 you get 88=4x. Divide 88 by 4 and you get x=22. This then would mean the width is 22 and the length is 34. The formula for an area of a rectangle is w*l. Plug in the numbers that you figure out from the area formula and you get 22x34=748

Answer:

$180\ in.^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle can is defined as $A = wl$ where w is the width and l is the length. The width in this case is 12 and the length is 15. Also it doesn't really matter what order you put it in. This gives you an area of $(15\ in.) (12\ in.) = 180\ in.^2$
