48 feet squared

what is shape of pond?
OpenStudy (tommo_lcfc):
We know one of the lengths of the pond is 6 feet. If the perimeter is 28 feet then the other length is 8 feet. Therefore the area of the pond is 6 x 8 = 48 ft^2

what?

If the pond is 6 ft wide and the perimeter of the pond is 28 square ft, then what is the length?
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
i assume its a rectangle pond - so p=L+L+W+W
so 28-6-6=1
then 16/2=your length
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
so then to get area A=LW
so A=8*6

hlp plz
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
okay so your perimeter is 28 ft
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
the width is 6 ft
the formula to get perimeter is length+length+width+width
OpenStudy (superteenblue):
ok so... whats the answer
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
so
length+length+6+6=28

what is 6+6=?
OpenStudy (superteenblue):
so whats the area
OpenStudy (ellalaynemaguire):
if one side is 6 feet then you have to multiply it by 2 to represent the other side. then you subtract 12 from 28 because 6 times 2 is 12. 28-12 is 16 so you would divide that in half to find the length of the other 2 sides. 16 divided by 2 is 8. now that you have your width and length measurements you have to multiply them to find the area. 6 times 8 is 48 so your area would be 48 feet squared.
