A rectangle with length p and width l has an area of 32. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 6l, what is the value of p?
Given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 6l. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(p+l) or 2p+2l. Thus:
Next, it is known that the area of the rectangle is 32. The formula for the area is p×l. We substitute p=2l into the area formula:
After obtaining the value l=4, we substitute it back into the equation p=2l:
So, the value of p is 8.
