Arectangular playground is 8 meters wide. it is 3 times as long as it is wide.
what is the area of the playground?

Width = 8 m

Length = 3(8) = 24 m

Area = length * width = 8 * 24 = 192 m²

The area of the playground is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a rectangle with width ''w'' and height ''h'', the area of the rectangle is :

(I)

In this exercise, it says that ''It is 3 times as long as it is wide''. Therefore, we can write this using the following equation :

(II)

Replacing (II) in (I) ⇒

Replacing the width 8 m in the equation :

We conclude that the area of the playground is
