By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.
<h3>
How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>
For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(x + y).
Here we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft
p = 890ft = 2(x + y)
So we have a system of equations.
To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:
890ft = 2(x + y)
890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)
Now we can solve this for y.
890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y
890ft + 130ft = 6y
1020ft/6 = y = 170ft
So the width is 170ft, and we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft
So the length is 275 ft.

Answer: 25</h3>
Through using the pythagorean theorem, you should find the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle to be 10 units. Therefore, the perimeter of the smaller triangle is 6+8+10 = 24 units.
The perimeter of the larger triangle is 60 units. The ratio here is 24:60 = 2:5
Meaning that the larger perimeter is 5/2 = 2.5 times that of the smaller.
We apply this scale factor 2.5 to the smaller hypotenuse 10 to jump to 2.5*10 = 25, which is the length of the larger hypotenuse.
The answer: x is equal to 50
