The perimeter of a rectangular sports ground is 56m, the length of the sports ground is 16m

The perimeter of a rectangular sports ground is 56m, the length of the sports ground is 16m, which is equal to the area of the sports ground.

1. The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. A rectangle has 2 sides equal to its length and 2 sides equal to its width. Let us find the sum of the lengths of the two sides of the playground, if it is known that the length is 16 meters.

16 + 16 = 32 m.

2. Let’s calculate what length will fall on the width of the sports ground, if it is known that the perimeter is 56 m.

56 – 32 = 24 m.

3. Let’s calculate the width of the playground.

24/2 = 12 m.

4. Let’s calculate the area of the sports ground.

16 * 12 = 192 m ^ 2.

Answer: The area of the sports ground is 192 m ^ 2.
