The perimeter of a quilt had to be 34 feet because he only had that much binding. If he wanted it to be 8ft long what would its area be?
72 square feet
Answer 9×8=72
9×8=72ft
P = 2L + 2W
34 = 2L + 2W
34 = 16 + 2W
18 = 2W
9 = W
A = 9 * 8
72
72 square feet
Answer 72 is the area because 9×8=72

To find the area of the quilt, we first need to determine the width. Since the perimeter is given as 34 feet and the length as 8 feet, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the width.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * (length + width)
Given:
Perimeter = 34 feet
Length = 8 feet
Let's solve for the width:
34 = 2 * (8 + width)
Dividing both sides by 2:
17 = 8 + width
Subtracting 8 from both sides:
9 = width
Now that we know the width is 9 feet and the length is 8 feet, we can calculate the area of the quilt using the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area of a rectangle = length * width
Area = 8 * 9 = 72 square feet
Therefore, the area of the quilt would be 72 square feet.
