Let the breadthwidth of rectangle be x mThen, Length of rectangle be 4x mPerimeter of rectangle=60m⇒2(4x+x)=60    ∵Perimeter of rectangle=2(Length+Breadth)⇒2(5x)=60⇒10x=60⇒x=6So, Breadth=6mLength=6×4=24m

The length ofa rectangle is four times its width. If the perimeter of the rectangleis60 metre, find thelength and breadth of the rectangle
