Question

The width of a rectangle is four feet more than six times its length, L. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 568

feet, what is the length of the rectangle?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answer is:

The length is 40

Explanation:

W=4+6L

P=568

Perimeter formula

W+W+L+L=568

Plug in known values!

(4+6L)+(4+6L) + L +L = 568

Solve for L

14L + 8 = 568

-8

14L = 560

/14

L=40
