Answer: 3 by 3 by 12 by 12
Step-by-step explanation: Two sides are x feet long. The two other sides are 4 times x feet long. 4x+4x+x+x =10x
Set that equal to 30 and solve. x=3
Plug back into the original 4x's and x's to get the lengths
Answer:
Express your length and width as algebraic expressions:
width = x
length = 4x
Use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to solve for x:
perimeter = 2(length) + 2(width)
50 = 2(4x) + 2(x)
50 = 8x + 2x
50 = 10x
5 = x
The width (x) is 5 feet and the length (4x) is 20 feet.
