Lamar made a garden in the shape of a rectangle with an area of 36 square feet. The shorter side of the garden measures 4 feet. Explain how you can find the perimeter of the garden.
I can find the perimeter by knowing that one side of the garden is 4 ft. All you have I have to do now is divide 36 by 4.
I know this because i looked at the 36 square and drew it in a grid paper and then count it by fours
To find the perimeter of the garden, we need to know the lengths of all four sides. However, in this case, we are only given the shorter side, which is 4 feet.
Since we know that the area of the rectangle is 36 square feet, we can use this information to find the length of the longer side.
The formula for finding the area of a rectangle is: Area = Length × Width
In this case, we know that the shorter side has a length of 4 feet. So, we can substitute these values into the formula:
36 = 4 × Width
To find the length of the longer side, we need to solve for Width. Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
36/4 = Width
9 = Width
Therefore, the longer side has a length of 9 feet.
Now that we have the lengths of both sides, we can calculate the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangle is found by adding up the lengths of all four sides.
In this case, the shorter side is 4 feet, and the longer side is 9 feet. The other two sides are also equal to the lengths of the shorter and longer sides, respectively.
So, the perimeter of the garden is calculated as:
Perimeter = 4 + 9 + 4 + 9
Perimeter = 26 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of Lamar's garden is 26 feet.
Well, Lamar certainly knows how to keep things in shape! To find the perimeter of the rectangular garden, we need to know the lengths of both sides. Luckily, we know that the shorter side is 4 feet.
Now, since the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width, we can figure out the length of the longer side by dividing the area of 36 square feet by the shorter side of 4 feet. This gives us a longer side length of 9 feet.
To find the perimeter, we add up the lengths of all four sides of the rectangle. Since opposite sides of a rectangle are equal, we have 4 feet + 4 feet + 9 feet + 9 feet, which gives us a total perimeter of 26 feet.
So, Lamar's garden has a perimeter of 26 feet. Just make sure to watch out for any killer plants or mischievous garden gnomes while measuring!
