the top of the trusty twisty toaster has an area of 48 inches. if the top is 8 inches wide, how long is the side? what is the perimeter of the top?
Length = 6?
Perimeter = 28 inches?
correct on both.
Thank you, this has been so educational on my journey to make the perfect toaster. My business will rise to the top.
To find the length of the side, we can divide the area of the top by its width. In this case, the area of the top is 48 square inches and the width is 8 inches. So,
Length = Area / Width = 48 inches / 8 inches = 6 inches
Therefore, the length of the side is 6 inches.
Now, to find the perimeter of the top, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides of the top. We know that the width is 8 inches and the length is 6 inches. Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, we can simply multiply the length and width by 2, and then add them together.
Perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width) = 2(6 inches) + 2(8 inches) = 12 inches + 16 inches = 28 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the top is 28 inches.
