The length of the rectangular corridor is 6 m, and the width is 2 m less 1) Find the perimeter of this corridor.
The length of the rectangular corridor is 6 m, and the width is 2 m less 1) Find the perimeter of this corridor. 2) Find the area of this corridor.
Let’s find the width of the given rectangular corridor.
According to the condition of the problem, the length of this rectangular corridor is 6 meters, and the width of this corridor is 2 meters less than its length, therefore, the width of this corridor is:
6 – 2 = 4 m.
We find the perimeter p of a given rectangular corridor as the doubled sum of the length and width of this corridor:
p = 2 * (6 + 4) = 2 * 10 = 20 m.
We find the area S of a given rectangular corridor as the product of the length and width of this corridor:
S = 6 * 4 = 24 m².
Answer: the perimeter of this corridor is 20 m, the area of this corridor is 24 m².
