A rectangular playground is 8 meters wide. It is 3 times as long as it is wide.
What is the area of the playground?

Answer 1

Answer:

  192 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If it were as long as it is wide, the area would be that of an 8-meter square:

  (8 m)² = 64 m²

It is 3 times as long, so the area is 3 times that value:

  3 × 64 m² = 192 m²

Answer 2

Answer:

192 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of the playground is 8m.

Now it's length is three times more than its width.

thus its length is 8*3 = 24.

The area thus is 24*8 = 192 m²
