math


Question Posted Monday April 16 2007, 6:16 pm

i'm in 8th grade and we're doing a 7th grade review on math, and i'm really stuck on this problem (i'm not stupid, i really don't remember any of this algebra haha)

the problem is:

The area of a rectangle is 320 m squared. The width of the rectangle is 16 m. What is the perimeter of the rectangle?


Thank you soooo much!
=)

You set up the problem like this:

16x = 320. So divide 320 by 16. You get 20.

Then, to find the perimeter, you add 20(2)+16(2) and get 72. There's your answer :)
