Solving Problems with Area and Perimeter Formulas for Rectangles

Calculating Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle

Area of a rectangle: A = lw
l is the length of the rectangle
w is the width of the rectangle

Perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2l + 2w
l is the length
w is the width of the rectangle

Question 1:
A rectangle has a length of 5cm and a perimeter of 16cm. What is the width of the rectangle?
Let’s use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l + w)
We know that the perimeter is 16cm, and the length is 5cm.
Let’s plug these values in and solve for the width:
16cm = 2(5cm + w)
8cm = 5cm + w
w = 3cm
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 3cm.

Question 2:
The area of a rectangle is 48m^2 and its width is 6m. What is its length?
Let’s use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A = lw
We know that the area is 48m^2, and the width is 6m.
Let’s plug these values in and solve for the length:
48m^2 = 6m x l
l = 8m
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 8m.

Question 3:
The perimeter of a rectangle is 26cm and its length is twice its width. What is its width?
Let’s use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2(l + w)
We know that the perimeter is 26cm, and the length is twice the width.
Let’s use “w” to represent the width, and plug in “2w” for the length:
26cm = 2(2w + w)
26cm = 2(3w)
13cm = 3w
w = 4.33cm (rounded to two decimal places)

Question 4:
A rectangle has an area of 60cm^2 and a width of 6cm. What is its length?
Let’s use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
A = lw
We know that the area is 60cm^2, and the width is 6cm. Let’s plug these values in and solve for the length:
60cm^2 = 6cm x l
l = 10cm
Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 10cm.

Question 5:
The perimeter of a rectangle is 50cm, and its length is five times its width. What is the width of the rectangle?
Solution:
Let’s use “w” to represent the width of the rectangle.
P = 2(l + w)
50cm = 2(5w + w)
50cm = 12w
w = 4.17cm (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is approximately 4.17cm.

72cm = 2(7w + w)
72cm = 16w
w = 4.5cm
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 4.5cm.

Question 11:
Find the perimeter and area of a rectangle with length 12 cm and width 6 cm.
Solution:
Perimeter = 2(length + width) = 2(12 cm + 6 cm) = 2(18 cm) = 36 cm
Area = length * width = 12 cm * 6 cm = 72 cm^2
Requested by: Yasir

Question 12:
Find the length of the diagonal of a rectangle with length 9 cm and width 5 cm.
Solution:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2,
where a and b are the length and width of the rectangle, and c is the length of the diagonal.
a = 9 cm, b = 5 cm, so we have:
9^2 + 5^2 = c^2
81 + 25 = c^2
106 = c^2
c = sqrt(106) = 10.3 cm (rounded to one decimal place)
Therefore, the length of the diagonal is approximately 10.3 cm.
