    WHat is the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 23 ft. and a area of 322 sq. ft?????

   Let the breadth of the rectangle be = b  ft

       the length of the rectangle = l = 23 ft

        Area of the rectangle is = A  = 322 sq ft

       Perimeter of the rectangle = P = ?

                              A = l*b
                             322 = 23*b   or b = 322/23 = 14  ft

                             P = 2(l+b) = 2(23+14) = 2(37) = 74 ft.
