Question 329176: A standard rectangular highway billboard sign has a perimeter of 124 feet. The length is 6 more than three times the width. Find the dimensions of the sign.
perimeter is 124 ft
Let length = 3x + 6
let x= width
x+3x+6=124
4x+6=124
-6 -6
4x= 118
4x/4 118/4
x= 29.5
width = 29.5 ft, length = 3x29.5+6 or 94.5+6+ 100.5
29.5+100.5= 130 Where did I go wrong? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! is the representation of the measure of the width, and is the representation of the measure of the length. You said the perimeter is equal to the measure of the width plus the measure of the length. But to get all the way around a rectangle you need to traverse 2 times the width and 2 times the length.
