Question

The length of a rectangle is 6 times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 98in , find its area.

Answer 1

Answer:

294in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be x

Perimeter = 2(length+width)

98 = 2(6x + x)

49 = 6x + x

49 = 7x

7 = x

The width is 7 and the length is 7 x 6 = 42

Area = length × width

42 × 7 = 294in²
