The length of a rectangular sign is 5 times its width. If the sign’s perimeter is 24 inches, what is the sign’s area The sign's area is ___ square inches.

Respuesta :

The sign's area is 80 square inches.

A rectangle is a quadrilateral. This means that a rectangle has four sides.

The area of a rectangle = length x width

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x ( length + width)

Let the width of the sign be represented with w

The length of the sign is 5x

Substitute these dimensions into the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.

(x + 5x) = 24

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4 inches

The length is 5 x 4 = 20 inches

Area of the sign = 20 x 4 = 80 inches²
