If a rectangle has a perimeter of 1,000 inches and a width of 200 inches, what is the area?

Answer 1

W = Width = 200 in

L = Length

P = Perimeter

A = Area

P = 2 W + 2 L = 2 ( W + L )

1,000 = 2 ( 200 + L )

Divide both sides by 2

500 = 200 + L

Subtract 200 to both sides

300 = L

L = 300 in

A = L ∙ W = 300 ∙ 200 = 60,000 in²
