Question

The east room of the White House is 79 feet long by 36 feet wide what is the area and what is the perimeter of the east room

Answer 1

Hey there!

In area, you multiply the length times the width.

Length = 79 ft.
Width = 36 ft.

79 x 36 = 2,844
The area of the shape is 2,844.

To find perimeter, you add up all the sides. The way you were describing the shape, it sounds like a rectangle so. . .

79 + 79 = 158
36 + 36 = 72
158 + 72 = 230
The perimeter of the room is 230 feet.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!

Answer 2

Assuming it is a rectangular room it would be a perimeter of 151ft.
