Question

The length of a rectangle is six times the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 28 inches. What is the area of the rectangle (in square inches)?

Answer 1

24sq.in

Explanation:

Let, length be x and width be y.

x= 6y

2(x+y)=28

or, 2(6y+y)=28

or, 2×7y=28

or, 14y =28

y=2

x= 6×2=12

area= 12×2 = 24 sq.in
