Question

Finding the perimeter or area of a rectangle given one of th

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 70cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where

l is the length

w is the width

From the question

The length of a rectangle six times its width which is written as

l = 6w

Area = 150cm²

Substitute these values into the formula for finding the area

That's

150 = 6w²

Divide both sides by 6

w² = 25

Find the square root of both sides

width = 5cm

Substitute this value into l = 6w

That's

l = 6(5)

length = 30cm

So the perimeter of the rectangle is

2(30) + 2(5)

= 60 + 10

= 70cm

Hope this helps you
