Question

perimeter 120 yards, length is 4 times width, what are the demensions

Answer 1

(4y+y)*2=120; 5y=120; y=12, x=48

Answer 2

I take it we are spose to assume a rectangular shape?

Answer 3

I just needed to make sure I had the right formula. Thanks

Answer 4

let width = x yard
then length = 4x yard
Perimeter = 2(length+width)
120 = 2(x + 4x)
120 = 2 * 5x
120 = 10x
12 = x

so width = 12 yard
length = 4(12) = 48 yard
