Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the original rectangle is ...

  P = 2(L+W) = 2(4x + x) = 10x

The perimeter of the larger rectangle after we add "a" to each side is ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  = 2((4x+a) +(x+a))

  = 10x +4a = 10x +16

  4a = 16 . . . . . subtract 10x from both sides

  a = 4 . . . . . . . divide by 4

The length added to each side is 4 cm.

USPshnik [31]

So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Last year, 3\frac{1}{2} acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.

To do this we divide the total number of strawberries produced by the number of acres it was produced in.

The number of strawberries produced per acre= \frac{14,700}{3.5} = 4,200 pounds.

Step 2:

To determine the number of strawberries in 5 acres of land, we multiply the number of strawberries per acre by the number of acres.

The number of strawberries produced in 5 acres= 5(4,200) = 21,000 pounds.

So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
