Answer:
Perimeter = (Length x 2) + (Width x 2)
27.5 = (9 x 2) + (Width x 2)
27.5 = 18 + (Width x 2)
9.5 = (Width x 2)
4.75 = Width
check:
27.5 = (9 x 2) + (4.75 x 2)
27.5 = 18 + 9.5
27.5 = 27.5
Since the width is 4.75 and the length is 9, we can multiply the two to get the area. 4.75 x 9 = 42.75 sq. ft.
