Question

The length of a rectangle is four times its width.

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of rectangle = 36 yd and width of rectangle = 9 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = 4w (four times the width)

Perimeter of rectangle = 90 yd

We need to find length and width of rectangle.

The formula used will be: $Perimeter \ of \ rectangle=2(l+w)$

Where l is length and w is width

Putting values and finding length and width of rectangle

$Perimeter \ of \ rectangle=2(l+w)\\90=2(4w+w)\\90=2(5w)\\90=10w\\w=\frac{90}{10}\\w=9$

So,width (w) of rectangle is w= 9 yd

Finding length of rectangle = 4w = 4*9 = 36 yd

So, length of rectangle = 36 yd and width of rectangle = 9 yd
