A woman finds an office twice the area of her current office, which has a perimeter of 88 feet. How many square feet is the new office?

To find the area of the new office, we first need to determine the area of the woman's current office based on the provided perimeter of 88 feet.

The perimeter ( P ) of a rectangle is given by the formula ( P = 2 \times (length + width) ). Since the perimeter is 88 feet, we can write the equation:

[ 2 \times (length + width) = 88 ]

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us:

[ length + width = 44 ]

To find the area ( A ) of the office, we use the formula ( A = length \times width ). The dimensions (length and width) can vary, but the sum of the two dimensions must equal 44.

If we consider different pairs of dimensions that satisfy this equation, we can calculate areas based on possible values for length and width. However, without specific dimensions, we can assume the woman's current office is rectangular.

To find a specific numerical area, let’s assume a scenario that optimizes the area – typically, the area is maximized when the shape is a square (or close to it in this case). If we assume both dimensions are equal, we can set length and width
