To start, let x represent the width and x+100 represent the length. Since the perimeter of a figure is the sum of all the measurements of the side which can be represented by (x+100)+(x+100)+x+x and since you know your perimeter is 1220, you can set the expression equal to 1220. This would look like this:
(x+100)+(x+100)+x+x=1220

Once you have done that, combine any like terms (combine terms with the same variables and raised to the same power together) which would simplify to this:
4x+200=1220

Now that you have your like terms simplified, subtract 200 from both sides to get 4x=1020 and finally, to solve for x, or find the width, divide both sides by 4 to get x=255.

Now that you have your width, now you must find your length as the question asks to find the dimensions of the rectangular field. To find the length, add 100 to the width, 255 since according to the information given, the length is 100 more than the width. When you add 100 to 255, you should get that your length is 355. 

Now that you have your length and width, you can conclude that the dimensions of the field is 255 by 355 feet, which is your answer :)

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

It took the faucet 1 1/2 hours equivalent 3/2 hours to fill 1/4 cup by leaking

We need to find the rate in terms of cups that can be filled by water in 1 hour.

Using unitary method:

it takes \frac{3}{2} h for \frac{1}{4} cup

it will take 1 h for how many cups?

= \frac{1 \times \frac{1}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }= \frac{2}{4 \times 3}= \frac{2}{12}= \frac{1}{6} cups

Hence, the rate is \frac{1}{6} cups per hour

a kid sits on top of a 12 foot slide, looking down with an angle of depression of 25 degrees. find the height of the slide
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Height of slide = 5 feet (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of slide = 12 feet

Angle of depression = 25°

Find:

Height of slide

Computation:

Length of slide = Hypotenuse

Height of slide = Perpendicular

Using trigonometry function;

Sin θ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 25 = Height of slide / 12

0.422 = Height of slide / 12

Height of slide = 12 x 0.422

Height of slide = 5.064

Height of slide = 5 feet (Approx.)

A flower box is 3 ft. Long, 2 3/4 ft. Wide, and 1/2 ft. Deep. How many cubic feet of dirt can it hold? A. 4 1/8 B. 5 3/4 C. 6 1/
pochemuha

Answer:

The box can hold 4 1/8 cubic feet of dirt

Step-by-step explanation:

What we simply have to find here is the volume of dirt it can take

To get this, we have to multiply the dimensions of the box

We have this as follows

Volume or box = length * width * height

Volume of box = 2 3/4 * 1/2 * 3

Volume of box = 11/4 * 3 * 1/2 = 33/8 = 4 1/8 cubic feet
