A rectangle is to be
constructed with 60
meters of wire. The
rectangle will have an
area of ,
where is the length
of one side of the
rectangle.
Using the equation, state the area o
the rectangle if one side is 9 meters

If one side of the rectangle is meters, we can substitute this value into the area equation . Plugging in the value, we get:

So, the area of the rectangle when one side is 9 meters is 189 square meters.

To ensure you’re maximizing your area effectively, double-check constraints! Given you have a perimeter of 60 meters, both dimensions must add up correctly. With a rectangle made of 60 meters of wire, the sum of all sides dictates that , which simplifies down to . Ensure your fits within those dimensions to avoid surprise equations!
