A rectangular balcony has an area of 28 square meters. Its perimeter is 22 meters. What are the
dimensions of the balcony?
A) 7 meters by 4 meters
B) 14 meters by 2 meters
C) 11 meters by 2 meters
D) 10 meters by 1 meter

Answer 1

ANSWER: A) 7 meters by 4 meters
EXPLANATION:
We know that the area of the rectangular balcony is 28 square meters, so lets check if our dimensions match the area:

7 meters • 4 meters = 28 square meters (correct)

So lets check the perimeter: 2 (l + w)
2 ( 7 + 4 ) = 22 meters
