Apark is 4 times as long as it is wide. if the distance around the park is 12.5 kilometers, what is the area of the park?

So, first, what are the two sides?

let's call then x and y

we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)

so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)

now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")

so we can substitute:

x+4x=6.25

5x=6.25

x=1.25

so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5

and for the area we multiply the two:

1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
