Question

Ths area of a rectangle is 144 square yards. The length is 4 times the width find the length and width of the rectangle

Answer 1

width = x

length = 4x

Area = 144 square yards

 

width x length = Area

 

x(4x) = 144

4x² = 144

x² = 36

x = √(36)

x = 6

 

The width is 6 yards.

The length is 24 yards.
