Given one side of the rectangle = \(8 \) inches.
Let the other side be \(x\)
Total area = \(8*x = 112\)
This gives \(x = 14\)
So the answer would be \(2*14 + 8 = 36\)
Option (C)
Let the other side be \(x\)
Total area = \(8*x = 112\)
This gives \(x = 14\)
So the answer would be \(2*14 + 8 = 36\)
Option (C)
