Hello,

Making an equation would be a good method to solve this problem.

The area of a rectangle is equal to l * w , where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle.

If the area of the wall is 280280, we know l * w = 280280
We also know that the length is 88 feet longer than twice the width. Twice the width is equal to 2w , and the length is 88 feet longer than that, so l = 2w + 88.

So, we have a system of equations:
l * w = 280280

l = 2w + 88

Using the first equation, we can find the value of l and we get l =  \frac{280280}{w}

We then plug in this value of l into the second equation, and we have:
\frac{280280}{w}  = 2w + 88

Now, we can multiply by w on both sides, and subtract 280280 on both sides, and use the quadratic formula to get w ≈ 353, -397

The width of a wall cannot be negative, so the answer is 353 feet. 

To find l, and make sure of our answers, we should check it with the original problem to make sure it checks out.

Doing this, we get:
353 * l = 280280
Divide by 353 on both sides to get:
l = 794

Now, we should check it with the equation l = 2w + 88
794 = 2(353) + 88 
794 = 794, checks out.

So, the width of the wall of the barn is 353 feet, and the length of the wall of the barn is 794 feet.

Hope this helps! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

What is the measure of the angle at the tail end of the kite? if the top area is where its pointed is 122?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The angle is 58 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for kite

Required

The angle at the tail end

Represent this angle with x.

From the attached kite, we have:

1 angle = 122

2 angles = right-angled

So, we have:

x + 122 +90+90 = 360 --- sum of angles in a kite

x + 302 = 360

Solve for x

x =- 302 + 360

x =58^\circ

Find the value of x.
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know 4x plus 8x gets a total of 180 degrees (since a straight line is 180 degrees). Combine 4x and 8x to get 12x. To find x, divide 12 from 180. 180/12 is 15.
