<PRE><B>Question 214788</B>
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has an area of 400 square meters and a width of 16 meters?


Step 1.  The perimeter P means adding up the four sides of the rectangle.


Step 2.  The Area A=400.  Let x be the length or x=400/16=25


Step 3.  Then, P=16+16+25+25=82 meters


Step 4.  ANSWER:  The perimeter is 82 meters.


I hope the above steps were helpful.
