Answer: Length = 24; width =4

Step-by-step explanation

Since the ratio of the length to width is 6:1

Let the length  be represented as  6x

And the width be  = x

Such that that the Perimeter of the rectangle which is  

Perimeter = 2(length + width)  becomes

56 = 2(6x + x)

56/2 = 6x+x

28 = 7x

x = 4

Width = 4

Length = 6x= 6 x 4 = 24
