Question

The length of a rectangle is four time its width. If the permeter of the rectangle is 100yd, find i t s length and width.​

Answer 1

Answer:

So let us call the shorter side, i.e the width: 'x'

So each length is four times the width = 4x

The perimeter consists of two widths and two lengths and equals 50 inches.

So:

x+x+4x+4x=50

solve for x:

10x = 50

to find x divide both sides by 10:

10x/10 = 50/10

x=5

So width equals 5 in and length is four times this i.e. 4x5=20

To check: 5+5+20+20=50 !!!!
