To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to know the lengths of both its sides. In this case, we are given the length of one side, which is 8 inches.
To find the missing length, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
Area = length × width
We are given that the area is 48 square inches, and we know the length is 8 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we can solve for the width:
48 square inches = 8 inches × width
Dividing both sides of the equation by 8 inches, we find:
width = 48 square inches ÷ 8 inches
width = 6 inches
Now that we know both the length (8 inches) and the width (6 inches) of the rectangle, we can find its perimeter using the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
Plugging in their values, we get:
Perimeter = 2 × (8 inches + 6 inches)
Perimeter = 2 × (14 inches)
Perimeter = 28 inches
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle is 28 inches.
A = LW
48 = 8W
48/8 = W
6 = W
P = 2L + 2W
