Question

A rectangular garden has a length that is

four times the width. The garden perimeter
is 50 meters. What are the dimensions of
the garden? Write and solve an equation. Please answer it step by step!

Answer 1

Since,

Length is 4 times Breadth

Let Breadth be x

Therefore,Length=4x

Perimeter=50m

Therefore,

50m=2(l+b)

50m=2(4x+x)

50m=2(5x)

50m=10x

x=5m.

Therefore,

Breadth=5m

Length=4x=4×5=20m
