Answer:

  • length: 12 units
  • width: 18 units
  • area: 216 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the rectangle. Then the width is 4x-30, and the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  60 = 2(x +(4x -30)

  30 = 5x -30

  60 = 5x

  12 = x . . . . length

  4x -30 = 18 . . . . width

Area is the product of length and width.

  A = LW

  A = (12)(18) = 216

The length is 12, the width is 18, and the area is 216.
