The width of the playground has the shape of a rectangle 4 times less than its length

The width of the playground has the shape of a rectangle 4 times less than its length, while the perimeter of the playground is 60 meters. how many square meters is the area of the playground?

1) Find out how wide the site has, if it is known that its length is 4 times longer, and the perimeter is 60 meters. We draw up an equation where:

X – width;

4X length.

60 – perimeter.

2 * (X + 4X) = 60;

2X + 8X = 60;

10X = 60;

X = 60/10;

X = 6 meters.

2) Let’s find out how long the platform has, if it is known that it is 4 times its width.

6 * 4 = 24 meters.

3) We find out what area the site is, and we found the width of the site and it was 6 m.

6 * 24 = 144 m².

Answer: the area of the playground was 144 m².
