Area & Perimeter Story Problems
You can make sketches to help solve the problems below. Remember to include the units of measurement in your answers. Show all of your work.
Question 1.
The classroom rug is 9 feet long and has an area of 72 square feet. What is the width of the rug?
Answer:
The classroom rug is 9 feet long.
Length = 9 feet
Width =?
Area = 72 square feet
Area = Length x width
72 square feet = 9 feet x?
72/9 = 8 feet
Width of the rug is 8 feet.
a. What is the perimeter of the rug?
Answer:
We know that,
Width = 8 feet
Length = 9 feet
Perimeter of the rug = 2(width +length)
= 2(8 + 9)
= 2(17)
= 34
Perimeter of the rug is equal to 34 feet.
Question 2.
Chrissy is going to make a big painting on a piece of wood that is 4 feet wide and has an area of 28 square feet. How long is the piece of wood?
Answer:
Given
Width = 4 feet
Area = 28 square feet
Length =?
Area of piece of wood = width x length
28 = 4 x?
28/4 = 7 feet
Length = 7 feet
The piece of wood is 7 feet long.
a. What is the perimeter of the piece of wood?
Answer:
We know that,
Width = 4 feet
Length = 7 feet
Perimeter of the piece of wood = 2(width +length)
= 2(4 + 7)
= 2(11)
= 22
Perimeter of the piece of wood is equal to 22 feet.
Question 3.
The school playground measures 465 feet by 285 feet. What is the perimeter of the playground?
Answer:
Given,
Length = 465 feet
Width = 285 feet
Perimeter of the playground = 2(length + width)
= 2(465 + 285)
= 2(750)
= 1500 feet
Perimeter of the playground is equal to 1500 feet.

Question 6.
CHALLENGE Tina collects cans to recycle at the supermarket. Last week, on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, she collected 37 cans each day. On Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she collected 43 cans each day. Tina gets 5 cents for every can she recycles.
a. How much money did Tina get for her cans last week?
Answer:
On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, she collected 37 cans each day.
37 + 37 + 37 = 111 cans
On Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, she collected 43 cans each day.
43 + 43 + 43 + 43 = 172 cans
Tina recycled total 283 cans.
111 + 172 = 283 cans
Tina gets 5 cents for every can she recycles.
Multiply 283 with 5 the product is equal to 1,415 cents.
283 x 5 = 1,415 cents
Last week Tina got 1,415 cents for her cans.
b. Tina kept $5 for herself. She divided the rest of the money evenly among her three little brothers. How much money did each brother get?
Answer:
Last week Tina got 1,415 cents for her cans.
We know that,
100 cents = $1
1,415 cents = $X
100 x X = 1 x 1415
X = 1415/100
X = $14.15
Tina got $14.15 for her cans.
Tina kept $5 for herself.
$14.15 – $5 = $9.15
After keeping $5 with her tina left with the money $9.15.
She divided the rest of the money evenly among her three little brothers.
$9.15/3 = $3.05
Each brother got $3.05.

Paloma’s Picture
Paloma is painting a picture of a house. Help Paloma solve the following problems. Show your work using numbers, sketches, or words.
Hint: Use some of the strategies we have been studying lately to solve these combinations as easily as possible.
Question 1.
The door of Paloma’s house is 49 millimeters by 24 millimeters. What is the area of the door?
Answer:
The door of Paloma’s house is 49 millimeters by 24 millimeters.
Width = 24 millimeters
Height = 49 millimeters
Area of the door = width x height
= 24 x 49
= 1,176 square millimeters
The area of the door is equal to 1,176 square millimeters.
Question 2.
One of the windows is 15 millimeters by 32 millimeters. Another window is 30 millimeters by 16 millimeters. Paloma says the windows have the same area. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Answer:
One of the windows is 15 millimeters by 32 millimeters.
Width = 15 millimeters
Height = 32 millimeters
Area of the window = width x height
= 15 x 32
= 480Â square millimeters
The area of the one of the windows is equal to 480 square millimeters.
Another window is 30 millimeters by 16 millimeters.
Width = 16 millimeters
Height = 30 millimeters
Area of the window = width x height
= 16 x 30
= 480Â square millimeters
The area of another window is equal to 480 square millimeters.
Yes, I agree with Paloma word because windows have same area.
Question 3.
The porch is 12 centimeters by 19 centimeters. What is the area of the porch?
Answer:
The porch is 12 centimeters by 19 centimeters.
Width = 12 centimeters

Answer:
Paloma has 12 rows of flowers.
Each row has 13 plants in it.
Each plant has 15 flowers on it.
1 row = 13 plants
12 rows = X plants
X = 13 x 12
