Question

The length of a rectangle is four times its width.

If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 ft, find its area.​

Answer 1

area=144 ft²

Explanation:

width=x

length=4x

perimeter=2(4x+x)

60=2(5x)

60/2=5x

30=5x

x=30/5

=6

width=6 ft

length= 4(6)

=24 ft

area= length * width

=6*24

=144 ft²
