A backyard covers 225 square feet. If the lenght of the backyard is 15ft,what is the perimeter of the backyard.
well, 15*15 = 225, so ...
To find the perimeter of the backyard, we need to know the width of the backyard. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Area = Length * Width
In this case, the area is 225 square feet and the length is given as 15 feet. Therefore, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the width:
Width = Area / Length
Width = 225 sq ft / 15 ft
Width = 15 ft
Now that we know both the length and width of the backyard, we can calculate the perimeter. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Substituting the given values, we have:
Perimeter = 2 * (15 ft + 15 ft)
Perimeter = 2 * 30 ft
Perimeter = 60 ft
Therefore, the perimeter of the backyard is 60 feet.
