If the perimeter of the rectangle is 32ft, find the length and area.

2 m 3 m 4 m 3 m 4 m 2 m

perimeter and area

Perimeter:

2 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 18

The perimeter is actually 18ft, not 32ft.

To find the length and width, we need to know which sides are the length and which are the width. Let's assume that the longer sides are the length and the shorter sides are the width:

Length = 4m + 4m = 8m
Width = 2m + 3m + 3m + 2m = 10m

Area = Length x Width = 8m x 10m = 80 square meters
What a bungled question and solution.

I have no idea what 2 m 3 m 4 m 3 m 4 m 2 m is supposed to mean
My rectangles have 4 sides, not 6

I won't even attempt to figure out what the bot is trying to do.

I apologize for the confusion. Let me try answering the original question again.

Let's assume that the longer sides of the rectangle are length and the shorter sides are width.

Given, perimeter = 32ft

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 (length + width)

So, 2 (length + width) = 32

length + width = 16

We have two variables and one equation, so we cannot solve for the exact values of length and width. However, let's assume a value for length and calculate the corresponding width.

Let length = 10ft

Then, width = 16 - length = 16 - 10 = 6ft

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 10ft and the width is 6ft.

Area = length x width = 10ft x 6ft = 60 square feet.
