what is the perimeter and lenght of a rectangle if area=515.97 and width=18.9 ....???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2widths and 2lenghts give perimeter. and length times width is area you have to unkowns in two equations solve for one then substitute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2l+2w=perimeter\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[lw=area(515.97)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

substitute 18.9 for w and solve for l in the second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i get the lenght??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in the second equation lenght times width equalls area subtitute 18.9 then solve for l by dividing both sides of the equation by w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it right?? i get 27.3 for the leght... can you please check it if it is right... :d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now substitute l and w in the first equation to get the perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the p??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2l+2w=perimeter
