What is the perimeter, in meters, of a rectangular playground 24 meters wide that has the same area as a rectangular playground 64 meters long and 48 meters wide?
(A) 112
(B) 152
(C) 224
(D) 256
(E) 304
From the statement we have,
Since the area of the first rectangle = area of the second rectangle of length 64 m and width 48 m
therefore
Length * 24 = 64 * 48
or Length of first rectangle = 128
Therefore perimeter of the first rectangle = 2 * (Length + Breadth) = 2 * (128 + 24) = 304
