The formula to calculate the area of a rectangle is..
A = L * B
where A = Area of the rectangle
L = Length of the rectangle
B = Breadth of the rectangle
Now from the problem we have the following values..
A = 24
L = 8
Substituting these values in the above formula..
24 = 8 * B
24/8 = B
B = 3
So the the breadth of the rectangular rug is 3 feet.
The formula to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle is,
P = 2(L + B)
where P = Perimeter of the rectangle
Substituting the values for L and B..
P = 2(8 + 3)
P = 2(11)
P = 22
So the perimeter of the rectangular rug is 22 feet
