Use the information to answer the question.
Arectangular rug has an area of 12 square meters. The width of the rug is 3 meters.
What is the perimeter of the rug? In meters

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

we do know that the area of a rectangle is length × width.

we know the total area and the width of the rug, so

12 = length × 3

length = 12/3 = 4 meters.

the perimeter of a rectangle is the whole way around it : 2 times the length and 2 times the width.

perimeter = 2×4 + 2×3 = 8 + 6 = 14 meters
