The length of a rectangle is six times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 98 yd , find its area.

Respuesta :

p=2(W + L)
p= 2W + 2L
98=2W + 2(6W)
98=2W + 12W
98=W
98/14=14W/14
W=7

L= 6W
L = 6(7)
L= 42

CHECK
p=2(7 +42)
p=2(49)
p= 98

Area of a rectangle = W X L
Area of a rectangle = 7 X 42
Area of a rectangle = 294
