Answer:
Explanation:
Area = width · length
The length of the rug is 9 feet. We need to find the width.
72 ÷ 9 = 8
Check to see if this is correct: width (8) · length (9) = area (72)
Now add the length and width together two times since a rug has 4 sides
8 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 34
The perimeter of the rug is 34 ft.²
