Answer:

length = 78 feet

width = 36 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Using one variable and an expression, you can set up an equation equal to the perimeter to find the measure of each side:

width = 'w'

length = '42ft longer than it was wide' = w + 42

The general formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2w + 2l

Plugging in the given values and variables:

228 = 2w + 2(w + 42)

Distribute: 228 = 2w + 2w + 84

Combine like terms:  144 = 4w

Divide and solve:  36 = w

w = 36 ft

l = 36 + 42 = 78 ft

katrin2010 [14]
The answer is 65
there are 10 millimeters in every centimeter...so to get the size of the grid, you multiply 260 x 10 to get 260 centimeters and then to see how many millimeters are in the 260 centimeter grid you multiply it by 260 by 10, which gives you 2,600 millimeters, so then all that is left to do is divide 2,600 millimeters by 40 millimeters for each of her 40 millimeter equilateral triangles to see how many will fit...the answer is 65  <span />
