The length of the rectangle is six times it’s width. If the perimeter is 84yd find the length and width

Sagot :

Answer:

W = 6

L = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

2L + 2W = 84

L = 6W

Substitute for L in the first equation

2 (6W) + 2W = 84

12W + 2W = 84

14W = 84

W = 6

Substitute W in the first equation

2L + 2(6) = 84

2L + 12 = 84

2L = 72

L = 36

Plug both values in both equations to be sure

2(36) + 2(6) = 84

36 = 6 * 6

Hope that helps!
