Question

The width of a rectangular bathtub is one fifth its length if its perimeter is 154 find the dimensions of the tub

Answer 1

Answer:

length of the tub= 64.166 units

width of the tub= 64.166/5= 12.833 units

Step-by-step explanation:

let the length be x

the width of the tub = x/5

perimeter of the tub = 2(l+b)

⇒2(x+x/5)=154

⇒6x/5=77

x= 77×5/6= 385/6= 64.166

length of the tub= 64.166 units

width of the tub= 64.166/5= 12.833 units
