    Let the width be x.

    Length = 4x

    Area = 100 sq. feet

    lw = 100

    4x * x = 100

    4x² = 100

    (2x) ² = (10) ²

    2x = 10

    x = 5

    Therefore,

    Length = 4 * 5 = 20 ft

    Width = 5 ft

    Hence,

    Perimeter = 2 (l + w) = 2 (20 + 5) = 2 * 25 = 50 ft

    Hence, the perimeter is 50 ft.
