Question 1046238: A rectangle has a perimeter of 154 centimeters. If the length of the rectangle is 6 times its width, find the dimensions of the rectangle Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter of the rectangle:
2L+2W = 154 (1)
and
L = 6W Substitute in (1)
2(6W)+2W = 154
12W+2W = 154
14W = 154
W = 11 So the width is 11 and the length 6(11)= 66
--------------------------------------------------
Check:
2(11)+2(66) =
= 22+132 = 154 Correct
