Answer:
The width is 5.5cm.
The length is 33cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the length is 6 times the width, [tex]l=6w[/tex] (l represents the length and w represents the width.)
Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width = [tex]6w+6w+w+w=14w[/tex]
Since the perimeter is 77cm,
[tex]14w=77[/tex]
Divide both sides by 14:
[tex]\frac{14w}{14}=\frac{77}{14}[/tex]
[tex]w=5.5[/tex]
The width is 5.5cm.
We know that the length is 6 times the width,
so the length = [tex]6\times 5.5=33[/tex].
The length is 33cm.
