If the area of a rectangle is 162 square meters, what is the length of the base

If the long side is down then the length of the base is 81 sq.m.

If the short side is down then the length of the base is 20.25 sq.m.

Step-by-step explanation:

162/4 is 40.5 that means if this were a square it would be 40.5 sq.m. On each side, if the base is longer you multiply 40.5 by 2 (or whatever youre supposed to honestl) and if the base is shorter you divide by 2 (or whatever you were supposed to)

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
