the length of a rectangle is 5 times the width. if the perimeter is to be greater than 120 meters. what are the possible values for the width? (use w as the width)



Answer :

The possible value for the width is 10.

What is the length of a rectangle?

Since its sides are coupled, it essentially only has two distinct dimensions. The length of the rectangle is traditionally thought of as being the longer of these two dimensions, however, when the rectangle is depicted standing on the ground, the vertical side is typically referred to as the length.

Here, we have

The length of a rectangle is 5 times the width

L = 5w

120 < Perimeter = 2L + 2w

= 2(5w) + 2w

= 10w+2w = 12w

10 > w

w < 10

Hence, the possible value for the width is 10.
