  1.              380.25 ft²

    Explanation:

      perimeter of a room

                            P = 78 ft

    And formula for Perimeter is

                             P = 4 L            ( equation no 1 )

    Put the value of P in equation no 1.

                             78 = 4 L

                              L = 78/4

                              L = 19.5

                           

    As we know that if the room is square then it has 4 equal sides .

    so the Area will be :

                          A = L × W

                           A = 19.5 × 19.5

                          A = 380.25 ft²

  2. 324 square feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hello

    The equation to find the area of ​​the rectangle is simply A = h * b. This means that the area of ​​a rectangle is equal to the product of its height (h) by its base (b), or of its length by its width,on the other hand the perimeter of the rectangle is the total sum of all its sides P=2L+2W

    Step

    find the value of w

    Let

    L=2w+3

    w=w

    P=2L+2W

    P=2(2w+3)+2w

    P=4W+6+2W

    P=6W+6

    we know the perimeter is 78 feet

    78=6w+6

    isolating W

    78-6=6W

    72/6=W

    W=12

    step 2

    find the area

    A=l*w

    let

    l=2w+3

    l=2(12)+3

    length =27

    w=w=12

    width =12

    A=l*w

    A=27 feet * 12 feet

    A=324 square feet

    Have a great day

  3. The area of the room would be 380.25 feet

    78 / 4 = 19.5 (you do this to figure out how long each side of the room is)

    19.5 * 19.5 = 380.25 feet (length times width equals area. Each side of the room is 19.5 feet so you would multiply 19.5 by 19.5) 

  4. The perimeter doesn't tell you the area, and neither of them
    can be calculated by knowing the other one.

    Check this out:

    19.5 by 19.5        78          380.25 square feet

    Nine same perimeters, nine different areas !
