Question

A rectangular park is 85 yards wide and 120 yards long.

Answer 1

Answer:

A=10506.25 Sq.yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the park=85 yds

Lenght of the park=120 yds

Now,

A=L*W

A=120*85

A=10200 square yards. This is the area of your given rectangle.

Now,

P=2(L+W)

P=2(120+85)

P=2(205)

P=410 this is the perimeter of your given rectangle.

Now,

a=410/4=102.5

Now,calculate the area of newly given distance of each side:

A=a^2

A=102.5^2

A=10506.25 Sq. Yards

This is the new area and is larger than the area of the given rectangle which was 10200 square yards.
