Answer:
2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem we have to know thata rectangle has 4 sides and 2 of them are equal to each other
This is the formula to calculate perimeter
p = perimeter 48 ft
a = side a = 9 ft
b = side b
p = 2a + 2b
we replace the known values
48ft = 2*9ft + 2b
48ft = 18ft + 2b
48ft - 18ft = 2b
30 / 2 = b
15 = b
2 sides of the patio are 9ft and another 2 sides are 15ft
