Question

The Perimeter of rectangle DEFG is 120, ED=X, and FE=4x. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Perimeter=120

ED=x (length)

FE=4x (breadth)

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(l+b)

Given,

2(x+4x)=120

2x+8x=120

10x=120

x=120÷10

x=12

Therefore, value of x is 12

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given that perimeter = 120, length (FE) = 4x, and width (ED) = x

 P  =    2L  + 2w    (P = perimeter, L = length, w = width)

120 = 2(4x) + 2(x)

120 =   8x   +  2x

120 =       10x

÷10       ÷10    

12  =          x
