The length of the rectangular piece of land is 43m, and its width is 15m less than the length.

The length of the rectangular piece of land is 43m, and its width is 15m less than the length. Find the perimeter and area of the lot.

It is known from the condition that the length of a rectangular piece of land is 43 meters, and its width is 15 meters less than its length. In order to find the perimeter and area of the plot, we first need to find the width of the rectangle.

We know that the width is 15 meters less than the length:

43 – 15 = 28 meters width of the rectangle.

We just have to remember the formula for finding the area and perimeter and calculate.

We are looking for the perimeter:

P = 2 (a + b);

P = 2 (43 + 28) = 2 * 71 = 142 meters;

Rectangle area:

S = a * b;

S = 43 * 28 = 1 204 m2.
