Question

13 your backyard has a length of 8.5 inches and a width of 10.43 inches. (a) part a) what is the area of your backyard? (length times width) 88.655 correct answer 88.655 (b) part b) what is the perimeter of your backyard? (add all sides) 4

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for perimeter of a rectangle

The perimeter \(P\) of a rectangle is \(P = 2\times(\text{length}+\text{width})\).

Step2: Substitute the given values

Given length \(l = 8.5\) inches and width \(w=10.43\) inches.
First, find the sum of length and width: \(8.5 + 10.43=18.93\).
Then, multiply by 2: \(2\times18.93 = 37.86\).

Answer:

\(37.86\)
