Question

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

Please answer correctly please and thank you :)

Answer 1

Answer: the length of a rectangle is 45 cm,

the width of a rectangle is 9 cm.

Explanation:

Let the width of a rectangle is x.

Hence, the length of a rectangle is 5*x.

P=2*(x+5x)

108 =2*6x

108=12x

Divide both parts of the equation by 12:

9 cm=x

5*9 cm=5*x

45 cm=5x

Answer 2

length is 45, width is 9.

Explanation:

5+5+1+1=12

108/12=9 (width)

9*5= 45(length)

45+45+9+9= 108
