Anthony is preparing to paint a large shipping container and needs to calculate the area of the container so he can buy the corr
ect amount of paint. The equation he uses to find the area, A, in square feet is A = 2(w + hw +1h) where / is the length, w is the width,
and h is the height of the container. The container is 8 feet wide, 12 feet high, and 24 feet long. What is the area of the container
in square feet?
Let width be x so Length is equal to x+6 Perimeter= 2(l+b) So perimeter=2(x+x+6) P=2(2x+6) 4x+12=64 (given) Send 12 to the other side then, 4x=64-12=52 X=52/4=13
