Calculate Rectangle Perimeter: Area 112 with Width 8 and Length 14

Question

If the area of the rectangle is 112.

Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.

00:00 Find the perimeter of the rectangle

00:03 The perimeter of the rectangle equals the sum of its sides

00:10 Opposite sides are equal in a rectangle

00:13 We'll substitute appropriate values according to the given data and solve for the perimeter

00:19 And this is the solution to the problem

Since in a rectangle every pair of opposite sides are equal to each other, we can claim that:

$AB=CD=14$

$AC=BD=8$

Now we can calculate the perimeter by adding all the sides together:

$8+14+8+14=16+28=44$
