Answer:
length = 235 yd
width = 58 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be W.
L = 4W + 3
perimeter = 2(L + W)
perimeter = 2(4W + 3 + W)
perimeter = 2(5W + 3) = 10W + 6
We are told the perimeter = 586 yd
10W + 6 = 586
10W = 580
W = 58
L = 4W + 3 = 4(58) + 3 = 232 + 3 = 235
length = 235 yd
width = 58 yd
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If R, A, and P all share 108 pounds in the ratio of 2 to 3 to 1, then
2x + 3x + 1x = 108 and
6x = 108 so
x = 18.
R holds the ratio of 2x, so he gets 2(18) which is 36;
A holds the ratio of 3x, so he gets 3(18) which is 54;
P holds the ratio of 1x, so he gets 1(18) which is 18.
36 + 54 + 18 better equal 108...and it does!
B should equal 10. you just have to figure out what would get you b and then you can figure it out from there!!
