The length of a rectangle is six times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 384^2, find its perimeter.

Perimeter, P = 112 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

L = 6W   equation 1

Given the following data;

To find the perimeter of the rectangle;

First of all, we would determine the dimensions of the rectangle using its area.

Mathematically, the area of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Area of rectangle = LW   equation 2

Substituting eqn 1 into eqn 2, we have;

384 = 6W(W)

384 = 6W²

Dividing both sides by 6, we have;

W² = 384/6

W² = 64

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

W = √64

Width, W = 8 meters

Next, we would find the length;

L = 6W

L = 6 * 8

Length, L = 48 meters

Lastly, we would determine the perimeter of the rectangle using the above dimensions;

Mathematically, the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula;

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

Substituting the values into the formula, we have;

Perimeter, P = 2(48 + 8)

Perimeter, P = 2(56)

Perimeter, P = 112 meters

35 is an outlier
