Question

The length of a rectangle is 4 times the width. If the perimeter is to be less than or equal to 100 meters. What are the possible values for the width

Answer 1

The possible values for the width is w≥10.

Given that the length of a rectangle is 4 times the width and perimeter is to be less than or equal to 100 meters.

The perimeter of a rectangle is the total distance of its four outer boundaries. The perimeter of the object is twice the length and width of the object. This calculation is made using the formula:

perimeter = 2(length + width).

Here Perimeter=100 and length=4w

Substituting these values in the formula to find width, and we get

100≤2(4w+w)

100≤2(5w)

Divide both sides by 2, and we get

100/2≤(2(5w))/2

50≤5w

Divide both sides by 5, and we get

50/5≤5w/5

10≤w

Hence, the possible value for width when the length of a rectangle is 4 times the width is w≥10.
