Make up a ral life problem that you solve using area and perimeter. Include a coreect answer please and explain the solution to me so that I understand?

If you judiciously "search" around in this site - or use Google - you'll find problems that have been worked out step by step.

Please share with us your work, indicating exactly where you are stuck - so that we know where to begin to help you.

Would you like fries with that?
 


wrb, please stop posting your homework and demanding us to complete it for you. I've reviewed your posts at this site, and sometimes you even demand that we "hurry".

I very much regret that member "arthur ohlsten" is completing your homework for you. He's been told to stop completing students' homework, more than once.

You are totally ignoring the requirements of people seeking help here, as stated in the "Read Before Posting" message.

If you cannot bother to include statements in your posts that tell us what you already know about an exercise, what you're thinking about an exercise, or what you've already tried on an exercise, then either send your homework-completion demands directly to Mr. Ohlsten by Private Message OR get lost.

Got the message?

(Be advised that sending your homework-completion demands directly to Mr. Ohlsten might not even work for much longer because I intend to petition the owner of this site to delete Mr. Ohlsten's log-on credentials.)

 
Hi Tutors:

No one is doing my homework. Im trying to figure out how to do it myself. The problem is, I'm not clear on your explanations. Please help me and stop being rude. I love your website. Thanks for all of your support. Mr Ohlston, can you explain things in a matter in which it could be understood.

Now, with all that said, can you please answer this question nicely. Show the Area=72 and Perimeter = 44

Thank you

If you are trying to figure out how to do it yourself, then I would think you would have TRIED something.

You've posted a bunch of questions, with not one stitch of work shown. So...how can we tell where you need help? We can give better explanations if we see what you have tried on your own.

In all of your posts, I've seen NOTHING that indicates any effort on your part. I don't think it is at all "rude" to ask you to show some effort.

Here's a couple of hints:

Area of a rectangle = length * width

If you have a rectangle with area of 72 (square units??????), then

length * width = 72

Can you find two numbers which multiply to 72?

And the perimeter of a rectangle is found using this formula:

P = 2*length + 2*width

Take the numbers you've found as possibilities for the length and width to get an area of 72. See if those numbers will satisfy the perimeter relationship...that is, that the perimeter is 44.

Here's one possibility. Suppose the width of your rectangle is 2. Then the width would be 36, since the area is to be 72. (2*36 = 72)

Now, if the length is 36, and the width is 2, what is the perimeter? Perimeter = 2*length + 2*width. If you have a length of 36 and a width of 2, then
perimeter = 2*36 + 2*2
or,
perimeter = 72 + 4
perimeter = 76

But that can't be right! The perimeter is supposed to be 44! Try a different pair of numbers which give you an area of 72.


Since you're posting these problems in the Arithmetic section of these forums, I assume you are not using things like calculus.

Huh?

Is this supposed to be a question for Mr. Ohlston?

He rarely explains anything; he basically completes homework so that students can copy down his work and turn it in as their own.

WRB, I doubt anybody here has formal training in special education.

I suggest that you speak with your instructors about arranging for somebody local who is appropriate for your needs. I think that you need intensive assistance. This web site is not an on-line classroom.
