A rectangle is 25 feet long it’s area is 375 ft.². What is the perimeter of the rectangle

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of the rectangle, we first need to determine its width using the area formula for a rectangle, which is:

$$\text{Area}=\text{Length}\times \text{Width}$$

We know the area is 375 square feet and the length is 25 feet. Plugging in those values:

$$375=25\times \text{Width}$$

To find the width, we can rearrange the equation:

$$\text{Width}=\frac{375}{25}=15\text{ feet}$$

Now that we have both the length (25 feet) and the width (15 feet), we can calculate the perimeter using the perimeter formula for a rectangle:

$$\text{Perimeter}=2\times (\text{Length}+\text{Width})$$

Substituting the values we have:

$$\text{Perimeter}=2\times (25+15)=2\times 40=80\text{ feet}$$

So, the perimeter of the rectangle is 80 feet.
