Question

the perimeter o fthe rectangle is 532 yards. the length is 9 yards less than quadruple the width. what are the dimensions?

Answer 1

width=55 yards

length=211 yards

Explanation:

let width=x

length=4x-9

Perimeter=2(x+4x-9)=532

5x-9=532/2=266

5x=266+9=275

x=55

width=55 yards

length=4*55-9=220-9=211 yards
