Question

The perimeter of a rectangle is 77cm. The length is 6 times the width. Find the width and length of the rectangle. HELPPP I’m stuck on this

Answer 1

462

Explanation:

multiple 77x6

Answer 2

The width is 5.5cm.

The length is 33cm.

Explanation:

Since the length is 6 times the width,
`l=6w` (l represents the length and w represents the width.)

Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width =
`6w+6w+w+w=14w`

Since the perimeter is 77cm,

`14w=77`

Divide both sides by 14:

`(14w)/(14)=(77)/(14)`

`w=5.5`

The width is 5.5cm.

We know that the length is 6 times the width,

so the length =
`6* 5.5=33`.

The length is 33cm.
