Respuesta :
Perimeter of desk is 22 feet
Solution:
Given that desk has area of 30 feet and length of desk is 5 feet
To find: perimeter of desk in feet
Since desk is of generally rectangular shape, we can use perimeter of rectangle formula
Let us first find the width of adesk
The area of rectangle is given as:
[tex]\text {area of rectangle}=\text {length } \times \text {width}[/tex]
Substitute area = 30 feet and length = 5 feet in above formula,
[tex]30=5 \times w i d t h[/tex]
[tex]\text {width }=\frac{30}{5}=6 \text { feet }[/tex]
Thus width = 6 feet
The perimeter of rectangle is given as:
perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)
Substituting the length and width values we get,
perimeter of rectangle = 2(5 + 6) = 2(11) = 22 feet
Thus the perimeter of desk is 22 feet
