The length of a rectangle is six times it’s width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 112 yards, find it’s length and width.

The length of rectangle is 48 yards and width of the rectangle is 8 yards, if the perimeter of the rectangle is 112 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                   The perimeter of the rectangle is 112 yards

                   The length of a rectangle is six times it's width

Step:1

          Let, p - Perimeter of the rectangle

                   l - Length of the rectangle

                 w - Width of the rectangle

Step:2

        Formula for perimeter of rectangle,

                    ............................(1)

        From given,

                      p = 112 yards

                       l = 6w                            ( ∵ From given)

                     w = w

        Substitute the values,

                   112 = 2 ( 6w + w )

                   112 = 2 ( 7w )

                   112 = 14w

                    w = 8 yards

         From the w value, l becomes

                     l = 6w

                     l = 6 × 8

                   l  = 48 yards

Result:

       The length of rectangle is 48 yards and width of the rectangle is 8 yards, if the perimeter of the rectangle is 112 yards.
