Question

A rectangle stage that is 9 feet wide has an area of 252 square feet. what is the perimeter of the stage.

Answer 1

The length is 252/9, which equals 28. Now you just add (28)*(2) and (9)*(2). This equals 74; the perimeter of the stage is 74 feet.

Answer 2

You have to work backwards from area to get the perimeter. If you cannot read my work tell me and I will type the step by step process for you.
