The length of a rectangle is five times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 cm, find ts area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be 'w'

Length of a rectangle = 5w

Perimeter of a rectangle = 60 cm

Area of a rectangle = ?

First, finding the value of width ' w '

plug the values

⇒

Distribute 2 through the parentheses

⇒

Collect like terms

⇒

Swap the sides of the equation

⇒

Divide both sides of the equation by 12

⇒

Calculate

⇒ cm

Finding the value of length ( l )

Substitute the value of w

⇒

⇒

Finally, Finding the area of rectangle having length of 25 cm and width of 5 cm

plug the values

⇒

Multiply the numbers

⇒
