So, first, what are the two sides?

let's call then x and y

we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)

so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)

now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")

so we can substitute:

x+4x=6.25

5x=6.25

x=1.25

so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5

and for the area we multiply the two:

1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!

The Area of the park is 6.25 square kilometers.

  • Let the wide = X
  • The length = 4X (the length is 4 times long as it is wide)
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Therefore, we should have:

To determine the perimeter of the rectangle = 2 x (length + wide)

P = 2 (L + W)

P = 2L + 2W

Recall the distance around the park is 12.5,

Hence,

= 12.5 = 2 (4x) + 2 (x)

= 12.5 = 8x + 2x

= 12.5 = 10x

X = \frac{12.5}{10}

X = 1.25

To determine the area, the formula for area is (A = W x L )

A = X x (4X)

A = 4X^{2}

A = 4 x (1.25)^{2}

A = 4 x (1.25 x 1.25)

A = 4 x 1.5625

A = 6.25 square kilometers

Thus, the area of the park is 6.25 square kilometers.

  1. 4 1/12·2 2/3 = 49/12·11/4 = 49/12·33/12 = 1617/144 = 11 11/48 Good
  2. 2 1/5·6 1/4 = 11/5·25/4 = 44/20·125/20 = 5500/400 = 13 3/4 Good
  3. 1 1/2·3 1/5 = 3/2·16/5 = 15/10·32/10 = 480/100 = 4.8 Doesn't Work
  4. 3/4·8 1/5 = 3/4·41/5 = 15/20·164/20 = 2460/400 = 6 3/20 Good
  5. 5 1/2·5 = 11/2·5 = 55/2 = 27 1/2 Doesn't Work

(Note: Division of big numbers should be done by simplification, although not shown here.)
