Question

A rectangular parking lot has a perimeter of 310 meters. The length is 5 meters more than 4 times the width. What’s is the length and width?

Answer 1

w=30 l=125

Explanation:

Perimeter =2l+2w

p=310

w =width

4w+5 = length(4 times plus 5 the width)

2(4w+5) + 2w = 310

8w+10 = 2w =310

10w=300

w=30

30*4=120 120+5=125 l=125

2(125)+ 2(30)= 250+60 =310
