Question

Richard has a rectangular plot of land that is 525 feet long and y feet wide. He decides to build a fence around the plot. If the perimeter of the plot is 1,504 feet, find the value for y.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 227 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is P=2(L+B);

1504 = 2(525 + y)....... divide both sides by 2 we would have;

752 = 525 + y

y = 752 - 525

y = 227 feet
