The length of a rectangle is four times its width. If the area is 100 m2 what is the length of the rectangle? Pick:  A) 20  B) 40  C) 50  D) 80  E) 60
Let L be the length and W be the width of the rectangle. Hence   L = 4 W   We now use the area to write   100 = L ? W   Substitute L by 4 W in the equation above   100 = 4 W ? W = 4 W2   Solve for W and find L   4 W2 = 100   W2 = 25 , W = 5 and L = 4 W = 20 m   correct answer 20
