Question

A rectangle has a length that is five times longer than its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 12 inches, what is the width?
Width =
in.

Answer 1

Answer:

Width= $1\,inch$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Length=5\times Width$ ,  i.e

$L=5W$

$Perimeter=12\,inches$

Perimeter of a rectangle is:

                    $2(Length+Width)$

$12=2(5W+W)\\\\12=2(6W)\\\\\dfrac{12}{2} =6W\\\\6=6W\\\\W=\dfrac{6}{6} \\\\W=1\,inch$

Width of the rectangle is: $1\,inch$

$Length=5\times Width$

$Length=5\times1\\\\Length=5\,inches$
