Question

The total distance around wendy's rectangular-shaped bedroom is 260 feet. The width of the room is 60 feet. What iOS the area of wendy's bedroom use the appropriate unit of measure

Answer 1

I don't know the math equations on how to do it to be honest, but I know you're just looking for the answer.  

60+60=120 260-120=140 140/2=70 70*60=4200

Your answer is 4200ft^2

Answer 2

Answer:

Given;

The total distance of the rectangular-shaped bedroom is 260feet.

This also means that the perimeter of the room is 260feet.

The width of the room is 60feet.

Let the perimeter of the bedroom be p = 260feet

The perimeter of a rectangle p = 2 (length + width)

i.e p = 2 (length + width) --------------------- (i)

Substituting p=260 and width=60 in equation (i) gives;

260 = 2 (length + 60)

Dividing both sides by 2 gives

130 = length + 60

Making length the subject of the formula gives;

length = 130 - 60

length = 70feet

Since we have the length=70feet and width=60feet for the bedroom, we can calculate the area as follows:

Area of rectangle(bedroom) = length * breadth

Area = 70 * 60 = 4200

Therefore, the area of Wendy's bedroom is 4200 squarefeet.

This can also be written as 4200$ft^{2}$

Hope this helps!
