Question 1060621

The perimeter of a rectangle is 246 units. The base of the rectangle is five times the height. Find the area. 
<pre>Let height be H
Then base = 5H
2(H + 5H) = 246_____2(6H) = 246_____12H = 246____H, or height = {{{matrix(1,6,  246/12, or, 41/2, or, 20.5, units)}}}
Height: 5(20.5), or 102.5 units
Area = B(H), or 20.5(102.5)
You can do the calculation.
