Here is the question: A rectangle has area 16m^2. Express the perimeter of the rectangle and a function of the length of one of its sides. Here is what I did, but I am not very sure about it: A(r) = 16m^2 A(r) = bh bh = 16 b = 16/h P(r) = 2b + 2h P(r) = 2 (16/h) + 2h P(r) = 32/h + 2h Am I right, or can someone help me with this?

I'm not to good at calculus, cause I'm an algebra student but from the looks of it, it is correct. IF you have to find 'h' then you'd do 2(h+b)=34/h
