Answer:

96 sq. m

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width is x, the length is x + 4 and since perimeter = 2 * (length + width), we can write:

40 = 2(x + x + 4)

40 = 2(2x + 4)

20 = 2x + 4

16 = 2x

x = 8 so x + 4 = 12, therefore the area is 8 * 12 = 96 square meters.

Answer:

96m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

40=2(x+x+4)--> 2(2x+4).

20=2x+4

20-4=2x

16=2x

8=x

8✖️12=96m^2
