Example Question #91 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Figure

If the perimeter of a rectangle is 40, and the width of the rectangle is 8, what is the length of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 10

\dpi{100} 5

\dpi{100} 4

\dpi{100} 12

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 12

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is \dpi{100} P=2l+2w, where \dpi{100} l is the length of the rectangle and \dpi{100} w is the width.

Plug in the numbers that we are given into the equation.

\dpi{100} 40=2l +2(8)

\dpi{100} 40=2l +16

\dpi{100} 40-16=2l +16-16

\dpi{100} 24=2l

\dpi{100} \frac{24}{2}=\frac{2l}{2}

\dpi{100} l=12

Example Question #141 : Geometry

What is the volume of a box with a length of 5, a height of 7, and a base of 16?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When searching for the volume of a box we are looking for the amount of the space enclosed by the box. To find this we must know the formula for the volume of a box which is 

Using this formula we plug in the numbers for Base, Height, and Length to get 

Multiply to arrive at the answer of .
