Question

A rug is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 276276 ftft. the length is 5 times as long as5 times as long as the width. find the length and the width.

Answer 1

Width = w

Length = 5w

Given,

Perimeter = 276 ft

5w * w = 276

w² = 55.2

--- w = 7.429670248402684 ≈ 7.43 ft

--- l = 5w = 5*7.43 = 37.14835124201342 ≈ 37.15 ft
