Can someone explain this to me please will give brainliest
Bill's new porch is rectangular, with an area of 50 square feet. If the length of the porch is two times the width, what is the perimeter of the porch?
A.30
B.40
C.50
D.60

Sagot :

the answer is A. for this, you have to set up a system of equations. the first one will be the area equation. since you know area=length x width, your equation will be LxW=50. the next equation is L=2W, since the length is two times the width. then, plug in 2W for the L in the other equation and you get 2W^2=50. divide by 2 and get W^2=25. square root both sides and you get W=5. plug back into the other equation to find L=10. Then, add the sides of the rectangle for the perimeter. 10+5+10+5=30.
