<PRE><B>Question 165023</B>
Perimeter=2*Width+2*Length or P=2L+2W

Let L=the length of the rectangle
Then (1/4)L=width of the rectangle
So, our equation to solve is:

40=2*L+2*(1/4)L=2L+(1/2)L=2.5L  divide each side by 2.5
L=16cm-----------------------Length of rectangle

W=(1/4)*16=4cm----------------Width of rectangle

CK
2*16+2*4=40
32+8=40
40=40

Hope this helps----ptaylor</PRE>
