Calculate Rectangle Perimeter: Area = 32 Square Units (8 × 4)

Question

The area of a rectangle is equal to 32.

Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle.

00:00 Determine the perimeter of the rectangle

00:03 The perimeter of the rectangle equals the sum of its sides

00:12 Opposite sides are equal in a rectangle

00:17 Substitute the relevant values into the formula and proceed to solve for the perimeter

00:21 This is the solution

Since we know that each pair of opposite sides in a rectangle are equal, we also know that:

$AC=BD=4$

$AB=CD=8$

Now we can calculate the perimeter:

$4\times2=8$

$8\times2=16$

$16+8=24$
