Answer:

P = 100 centimeters (assuming you are asking for the perimeter)

Explanation:

P = 2 (L + W) OR P = 2L + 2W where P equals the perimeter, L equals the length, and W equals the width.

Since the rectangle's length is 4 times its width and given we know the width is 10 centimeters, then the length is 40 centimeters. Now we can substitute these values in our formula, okay?

P = 2 (L + W)

P = 2 (40 + 10)

P = 80 + 20

P = 100 centimeters
