To find the perimeter of a rectangular deck, you need to know the width and length of the deck. However, in this case, we only have the area and the width of the deck.
To find the length of the deck, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length × Width
Given that the area is 680 square feet and the width is 17 feet, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:
Length = Area / Width
Length = 680 / 17 = 40 feet
Now that we know the width is 17 feet and the length is 40 feet, we can calculate the perimeter of the rectangular deck using the formula:
Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 × (40 + 17) = 2 × 57 = 114 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangular deck is 114 feet.
