Question

Number two help plz

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is length + length + width + width, or 2l + 2w. Set these equal.

$\frac{35}{4}$ = $\frac{7}{2}$ + $\frac{7}{2}$ + width + width

$\frac{35}{4}$ = 7 + 2w; subtract 7 from both sides

$\frac{7}{4}$ = 2w; divide both sides by 2

$\frac{7}{8}$ = w, or the width (in meters)
