Question

The length of a rectangle is five times its width.
If the perimeter of the rectangle is 108yd , find its area

Answer 1

@whpalmer4 can u plz help

Answer 2

well since

Perimeter = 2 x length + 2 x width

then

108 = 2 l + 2w

or

54 = l + w

if the width is w, then the length is 5w

so

54 = 5w + w

Answer 3

just solve for w,

then when you have the width

then multiply it by 5 to get the length.

when when you have length and width, you can find the area.

Hope it helps
