To start, let x represent the width and x+100 represent the length.
Since the perimeter of a figure is the sum of all the measurements of the side which can be represented by (x+100)+(x+100)+x+x and since you know your perimeter is 960 feet, you can set the expression equal to 960. This would look like this:
(x+100)+(x+100)+x+x=960
Once you have done that, combine any like terms (combine terms with the same variables and raised to the same power together) which would simplify to this:
4x+200=960
Now that you have your like terms simplified, subtract 200 from both sides to get 4x=760 and finally, to solve for x, or find the width, divide both sides by 4 to get x=190.
Now that you have your width, now you must find your length as the question asks to find the dimensions of the rectangular field. To find the length, add 100 to the width of (190) since according to the information given, the length is 100 more than the width. When you add 100 to 190, you should get that your length is 290.
Now that you have your length and width, you can conclude that the dimensions of the field is 190 by 290 feet, which is your answer :)
So, first, what are the two sides?
let's call then x and y
we know that 2(x+y)=12.5 (that's the distance around)
so that means that x+y=6.25 (I just divided both by 2)
now, x=4y (from "4 times as long as it is wide")
so we can substitute:
x+4x=6.25
5x=6.25
x=1.25
so one side, is 1.25 and the other will be 1.25*4=5
and for the area we multiply the two:
1.25*5=6.25 square kilometers, and this is the answer!
<u>Story Problem</u>
Mr. Bill Gates bought a house in Italy for 
and a house in Canada for 
. What is the total cost of the two houses?
we know that
The total cost is the sum of the cost each house
so
therefore
the answer is
The total cost is 
The height of this pyramid will be:
√(26^2 - (48/2)^2) = 10cm
So the volume is: V = 1/3 * 48^2 * 10 = 7680 cm^3
Answer:
1/3
