I came up w/different answer than previous person. Just a mom trying to help my child...


Ellen separated the area of a poster into four equal sections. The perimeter of the poster is 120 inches. What is the area of each section of the poster?


**(The picture on my worksheet show 24 in for the length)

so the length is 24 on top and bottom

the width has to be 36 on each side)

24+24+36+36= 120 perimeter


My answer is 216

(A=LxW)

so 24x36=864

divided by 4 = 216 EACH SECTION
