A rectangle has an area of
30
30 square feet. The length of the rectangle is
6
6 feet . What is the perimeter of the rectangle?

​

Write the answer in the box.



feet

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to know the length and width. Since the length is given as 6 feet, we can find the width by dividing the area by the length.

Width = Area / Length
Width = 30 square feet / 6 feet
Width = 5 feet

Now that we know both the length and width, we can calculate the perimeter.

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (6 feet + 5 feet)
Perimeter = 2 * 11 feet
Perimeter = 22 feet

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 22 feet.
