Question 211690: A rectangle has an area of 240 in(squared), and one side has length x. Express the perimeter of the rectangle as a function of x. Found 2 solutions by HyperBrain, ikleyn:Answer by HyperBrain(694) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given the sides of the rectangle x and y, the area A=xy.
---
Given A=240
So,
xy=120
y=120/x
---
Then, the perimeter is given by P=2x+2y
---
So,
That's it.
