The perimeter of a rectangular lot is given as P = 56 m.
The longer length of the lot is L = 18 m.
The perimeter equals twice the length plus twice the width of the lot or
.
The shorter length of the lot is
.
Solving for the area of the lot
m
2.
Thus, for P = 56 m and L = 18 m, enter
18(56-2(18))/2 in the
Function = box and click on the
