Oliver’s room is 3 yards wide. The perimeter of the room is 14 yards. What is the area of Oliver’s room?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1429819207035:dw| first you want to find the length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok got that

Mehek (mehek14):

so since 2 sides = 3 then that would be 6 6 + 2x = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what would be th answer

Mehek (mehek14):

subtract 6 on both sides 2x = 8 divide by 2 x = 4

Mehek (mehek14):

^that's not the answer tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mehek (mehek14):

to find the area just multiply 3 x 4 which = 12 the area is 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 12

Mehek (mehek14):

yea first you find the length of the side then you multiply length x width which = area

OpenStudy (anonymous):
