Question 1

A rectangular playground is 24 meters wide and has the same area as another rectangular playground that is 64 meters long and 48 meters wide. What is the perimeter of the first playground?

  • $112$ m
  • $152$ m
  • $224$ m
  • $304$ m✔️
Correct Answer Explanation

Area of the second playground: $64 \times 48 = 3072$ square meters.

The first playground has width 24 m and the same area:

$24 \times \text{length} = 3072$

$\text{length} = \dfrac{3072}{24} = 128$ meters.

Perimeter $= 2(24 + 128) = 2 \times 152 = \mathbf{304}$ meters.
