Question

Use the formula P = 2 l + 2 w to find the length l of a rectangular lot if the width w is 40 feet and the perimeter P is 200 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

l = 60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use the equation and plug in the width(40 feet) for w and perimeter(200 feet) for p.

200 = 2l + 2(40)

then solve for l

200 = 2l + 80

120 = 2l

l = 60 feet
