The length of the rectangle is 24 cm. The length is 4 times its width. Find the perimeter and area of this rectangle.

To determine the area and perimeter of a rectangle, you need to know its length and width. We know the length of the rectangle – 24cm. The problem says that the length is 4 times the width, i.e. the width is 4 times less than the length of the rectangle.

Find the width of the rectangle:

24: 4 = 6 (cm) – the width of the rectangle.

Find the perimeter of the rectangle: (24 * 2) + (6 * 2) = 60 (cm).

We find the area of the rectangle: 24 * 6 = 144 (sq. Cm).

Answer: the perimeter of the rectangle is 60 cm, the area of the rectangle is 144 sq. Cm.
