Area of a rectangles is 256.5 m squared. If the length is 18 meters, what is the perimeter of the rectangle.
---------
area = length*width
256.5 = 18*w
---
width = 14.25 m
-----
Perimeter = 2(L+W)
P = 2(18+14.25)
Ans: Perimeter = 36 + 28.5 = 64.5 meters

256.5/18= 14.22 is the width
2(14.22)+2(18)= 64.44 is the perimeter
