Step-by-step solution for: Area and perimeter of rectangles worksheets - Math Worksheets ...
To solve the problem of finding the area and perimeter of the given rectangular shapes, we will use the following formulas:
1. Area of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
2. Perimeter of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]
#### Rectangle 1:
- Dimensions: Length = 42 in, Width = 12 in
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 42 \, \text{in} \times 12 \, \text{in} = 504 \, \text{in}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (42 \, \text{in} + 12 \, \text{in}) = 2 \times 54 \, \text{in} = 108 \, \text{in}
\]
#### Rectangle 2:
- Dimensions: Length = 29 yd, Width = 16 yd
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 29 \, \text{yd} \times 16 \, \text{yd} = 464 \, \text{yd}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (29 \, \text{yd} + 16 \, \text{yd}) = 2 \times 45 \, \text{yd} = 90 \, \text{yd}
\]
#### Rectangle 3:
- Dimensions: Length = 47 ft, Width = 26 ft
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 47 \, \text{ft} \times 26 \, \text{ft} = 1222 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (47 \, \text{ft} + 26 \, \text{ft}) = 2 \times 73 \, \text{ft} = 146 \, \text{ft}
\]
#### Rectangle 4:
- Dimensions: Length = 40 ft, Width = 22 ft
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 40 \, \text{ft} \times 22 \, \text{ft} = 880 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (40 \, \text{ft} + 22 \, \text{ft}) = 2 \times 62 \, \text{ft} = 124 \, \text{ft}
\]
#### Rectangle 5:
- Dimensions: Length = 31 in, Width = 19 in
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 31 \, \text{in} \times 19 \, \text{in} = 589 \, \text{in}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (31 \, \text{in} + 19 \, \text{in}) = 2 \times 50 \, \text{in} = 100 \, \text{in}
\]
#### Rectangle 6:
- Dimensions: Length = 39 ft, Width = 19 ft
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 39 \, \text{ft} \times 19 \, \text{ft} = 741 \, \text{ft}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (39 \, \text{ft} + 19 \, \text{ft}) = 2 \times 58 \, \text{ft} = 116 \, \text{ft}
\]
#### Rectangle 7:
- Dimensions: Length = 22 yd, Width = 14 yd
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 22 \, \text{yd} \times 14 \, \text{yd} = 308 \, \text{yd}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (22 \, \text{yd} + 14 \, \text{yd}) = 2 \times 36 \, \text{yd} = 72 \, \text{yd}
\]
#### Rectangle 8:
- Dimensions: Length = 26 yd, Width = 21 yd
- Area:
\[
\text{Area} = 26 \, \text{yd} \times 21 \, \text{yd} = 546 \, \text{yd}^2
\]
- Perimeter:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (26 \, \text{yd} + 21 \, \text{yd}) = 2 \times 47 \, \text{yd} = 94 \, \text{yd}
\]

Formulas:
1. Area of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
2. Perimeter of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 2 \times (\text{length} + \text{width})
\]
