Area of rectangle = (base)(height)
Given: (area rectangular garden 6 meters wide) = (area of rectangular playground 16 meters long and 12 meters wide)
Let x = height of rectangular garden
We can write: (6)(x) = (16)(12)
Divide both sides by 6 to get: x = (16)(2) = 32
So, the rectangular garden is 6 meters wide and 32 meters long
This means the perimeter = 6 + 32 + 6 + 32 = 76 meters
Answer: D
Cheers,
Brent
