Answer: the length of the flag is 770ft.

The width of the flag is 350 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the national flag.

Let W represent the width of the national flag.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of the flag is 2,240ft. This means that 2240 = 2(L + W)

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

1120 = L + W- - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the length is 420 ft greater than the width, it means that

L = W + 420

Substituting L = W + 420 into equation 1, it becomes

1120 = W + 420 + W

2W + 420 = 1120

2W = 1120 - 420 = 700

W = 700 / 2 = 350

L = W + 420 = 350 + 420

L = 770

Hello!
When finding the perimeter of a rectangle, you have to consider the properties of a rectangle. A rectangle has two pairs of equal sides where one is the width, while the other one is the length. 
Now looking back at your question, it says "... a rectangle that is x units wide" ⇒ you let the width = x ; this is the same with "y units long" ⇒ length = y. Perimeter can just be : P = 24.  
Therefore,
The equation would be:
x + x + y + y = P. 
2x + 2y = P.
(Sub in P = 24)
∴ 2x + 2y = 24. (This should be your answer.)
:) Good luck (Message me if you have any problem)

Lugar geométrico infinito formado por un conjunto de puntos que conservan la misma dirección
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

l lugar geométrico de los puntos que equidistan a otros dos puntos fijos {\displaystyle A}A y {\displaystyle B}B es una recta o eje de simetría de dichos dos puntos. Si los dos puntos son los dos extremos de un segmento {\displaystyle {\overline {AB}}}\overline {AB}, dicha recta, o lugar geométrico, es llamada mediatriz y es la recta que interseca perpendicularmente a {\displaystyle {\overline {AB}}}\overline {AB} en su punto medio.

La bisectriz cumple la propiedad de que todos sus puntos equidistan a los lados de dicho ángulo, convirtiéndose la bisectriz en un caso particular del lugar geométrico que sigue a continuación.

El caso de equidistancia a dos rectas paralelas, obtenemos que la paralela media es el lugar geométrico de los puntos que las equidistan. Se observa que, bajo el punto de vista de que las rectas paralelas se cortan en el infinito -se elimina, pues, la noción de paralelismo-, pasa a ser un sinónimo de la bisectriz, donde el ángulo ha tomado valor nulo.

Secciones cónicas

Las secciones cónicas pueden ser descritas mediante sus lugares de geométria:

La circunferencia es el lugar geométrico de los puntos cuya distancia a un punto determinado, el centro, es un valor dado (el radio).

La elipse es el lugar geométrico de los puntos tales que la suma de su distancia a dos puntos fijos, los focos, es una constante equivalente a la longitud del eje mayor de la elipse.

La parábola es el lugar geométrico de los puntos cuya distancia a un foco equivale a su distancia a una recta llamada directriz.

La hipérbola es el lugar geométrico de los puntos tales que el valor absoluto de la diferencia entre sus distancias a dos puntos fijos, los focos, es igual a una constante (positiva), que equivale a la distancia entre los vértices.
