Question

a new store measures 100 feet wide and 250 feet long. what is the area of the store? what is the perimeter of the store?what is the shape of the floor of the store?

Answer 1

The area of the store, will be given by:

$\begin{gathered} A=w\cdot l \\ where\colon \\ w=100 \\ l=250 \\ so\colon \\ A=250\cdot100 \\ A=25000ft^2 \end{gathered}$

The perimeter will be:

$\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ P=2(250)+2(100) \\ P=500+200 \\ P=700ft \end{gathered}$

The shape of the floor of the store is a rectangle.
