Question

(a) The perimeter of a rectangular parking lot is 288 m. If the width of the parking lot is 65 m, what is its length? Length of the parking lot: ​

Answer 1

Answer:

79 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + b)

=> 288 = 2(l + 65)

=> 288/2 = l + 65

=> 144 = l + 65

=> 144 - 65 = l

=> 79 = l

Hence,

Length of rectangle is 79 m

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of parking lot = 79m

Explanation:

2 × length + 2 × breadth = perimeter of rectangle

2 × length + 2 × 65 = 288

2 × length + 130 = 288

2 × length = 288 - 130

= 158

length = 158 ÷ 2

= 79
