Set the width to be x. Thus, the length is 4x.
The perimeter is 2(x+4x)=100, so x=10.
Plugging in x=10, you get that 4x=40.
So, the area of the rectangle is 400 .
Because there are 100 centimeters in a meter and you are asking for area, you must multiply by to get 4000000
.
<u>Correct Question</u>
In the table shown, the sum of each row is shown to the right of the row and the sum of each column is shown below the column. What is the value of L?
Answer:
L=7
Step-by-step explanation:
From the first row: 2J+K=5
Therefore: K=5-2J
From the second column, 2K+J=7
Substitute K derived above into 2K+J=7
2K+J=7
2(5-2J)+J=7
10-4J+J=7
-3J=7-10
-3J=-3
J=1
Recall: K=5-2J
K=5-2(1)=3
K=3
From the third column, J+2L=15
1+2L=15
2L=15-1=14
L=7
Therefore, the value of L=7
