Q. 7720-20. The, area of the rectangle below is 814 8 \frac{1}{4} square inches. Find the perimeter. Show your work.\newlineWidth is 412in 4 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{in} .
  1. Find Perimeter: To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to know both the length and the width. We already have the length, which is 4124\frac{1}{2} inches. We can find the width by dividing the area by the length.
  2. Convert to Fractions: First, let's convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions to make the calculations easier. The area is 8148 \frac{1}{4} square inches, which is (8×4+1)/4=334(8\times 4 + 1)/4 = \frac{33}{4} square inches. The length is 4124 \frac{1}{2} inches, which is (4×2+1)/2=92(4\times 2 + 1)/2 = \frac{9}{2} inches.
  3. Calculate Width: Now, we divide the area by the length to find the width: (33/4)/(9/2)=(33/4)×(2/9)=33/18=11/6(33/4) / (9/2) = (33/4) \times (2/9) = 33/18 = 11/6 inches. This is the width of the rectangle.
  4. Perimeter Formula: The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2(l+w)P = 2(l + w), where ll is the length and ww is the width. We have l=92l = \frac{9}{2} inches and w=116w = \frac{11}{6} inches.
  5. Add Fractions: Let's calculate the perimeter: P=2[(92)+(116)]P = 2\left[\left(\frac{9}{2}\right) + \left(\frac{11}{6}\right)\right]. First, we need a common denominator to add the fractions. The common denominator for 22 and 66 is 66.
  6. Find Common Denominator: Convert the length to a fraction with a denominator of 66: (92)×(33)=276(\frac{9}{2}) \times (\frac{3}{3}) = \frac{27}{6} inches.\newlineNow we can add the length and width: (276)+(116)=386(\frac{27}{6}) + (\frac{11}{6}) = \frac{38}{6} inches.
  7. Multiply by 22: Multiply the sum by 22 to find the perimeter: P=2×(386)=766P = 2 \times \left(\frac{38}{6}\right) = \frac{76}{6} inches.
  8. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction: 766=1246\frac{76}{6} = 12 \frac{4}{6} inches, and 46\frac{4}{6} can be simplified to 23\frac{2}{3}, so the perimeter is 122312 \frac{2}{3} inches.
