Chrissy is going to make a big painting on a piece of wood that is 4 feet wide and has an area of 28 ft.² what is the perimeter of the piece of wood

length = 7 ft

22 ft = perimeter

Explanation:

Assuming that the piece of wood is a rectangle or a square then the formula to calculate the area would be

length * width = area

Since we are given the width and the area we can plug it into the formula and solve for the length (l)

4 * l = 28   ... divide both sides by 4

l = 7

Now that we have the value of the length we can find the perimeter by using the formula for the perimeter

length + length + width + width = perimeter

7 + 7 + 4 + 4 = perimeter

14 + 8 = perimeter

22 ft = perimeter

first, the romans stayed isolated because they had to defend their own territories from neighboring cities that were harassing them, like the etruscans. second, once the romans managed to defeat their neighbors, and started to expand their territory, they started to build roads and bridges. finally, now that the romans have covered their territory with roads functioning as highways, they could mobilize their legions faster to assemble larger military units in a specific place.
