<u>Define x:</u>
Let the width be x.
width = x
Length = 4x
<u>Given the area, find Length and Width:</u>
The area is 100 cm²
Area = Length x Width
x(4x) = 100
Evaluate the Left Hand Side:
4x² = 100
Divide by 4:
x² = 25
Square root both sides:
x = 5
<u>Find the Width and the Length:</u>
Width = x = 5
Length = 4x = 4(5) = 20
<u>Find Perimeter:</u>
Perimeter = 2( 5 + 20) = 50 m
Answer: Perimeter = 50 m
The answer is not a whole number, so I'm not sure if I am 100% right.
The answer I got was 10.66666667 Pieces. Of course you wouldn't type that many 6's, just as many as it asks for. lol
