We know that the area of any rectangle is length times width. The perimeter is the sum of twice the length and twice the width.
Let width = x
Let length = 4x
Area = 100m2
Next, we can write an equation using these variables and formula for area.
4x2 = 100
x2 = 25
x = -5 and x = 5
Since the dimensions cannot be negative, we accept the positive value:
x = 5
Next, we can substitute this value of x into the variables.
width = 5 m
length = 20 m
Finally, we can find the perimeter by plugging in these dimensions into the perimeter formula,
Perimeter = 2(5 m) + 2(20 m)
= 10 m + 40 m
= 50 m
