<PRE><B>Question 3082</B>
TO FIND THE PERIMETER: DRAW A RECTANGLE FIRST, SINCE YOU HAVE 2 SIDES OF LENGTH AND 2 SIDES OF WIDTH. 

THE PERIMETER FORMULA FOR RECTANGLE IS: P=2L+2w

SINCE WE KNOW THE THE WIDTH OF THE RECTALGLE WHICH IS 24 LESS THAN THE LENGHT, WE CAN WRITE THE WIDTH EXPRESSION AS: W=L-24

NOW SUBSTITUTE THE WIDTH EQUATION TO THE PERIMETER FORMULA TO FIND THE PERIMETER OF THE POLYNOMIALS: P=2L+2W
                 P=2L+(L-24)
                 P=3L-24

THE AREA OF THE RECTANGLE IS : A=L(W)
                               A=44(44-24)=44(20)
                                         A=880FEET</PRE>
