Answer:
L = 10 in
W = 2.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length be L and width be W
Perimeter = L + L + W + W
Perimeter =2L + 2W
given than length is 4 times the width, or
L = 4W (substitute this back into the perimeter equation above)
Perimeter =2L + 2W
Perimeter =2(4W) + 2W
Perimeter =8W + 2W
Perimeter = 10W
given that the perimeter is 25in
25 = 10W
W = 25 / 10 = 2.5 in (answer for width)
L = 4W = 4(2.5) = 10 in (answer for length)
