A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 1140 feet. The length is 400 feet more than the width. Find the width and length of t
he rectangular field.
1 answer:
Answer:
Width= 85
Length= 485
Step-by-step explanation:
The width will be x, and the length will be x + 400, since it is 400 more than the width.
We know that the perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the equation 2w + 2l.
We plug in the values we have found.
2(x) + 2(x+400) = 1140
4x + 800 = 1140
4x = 340
x = 85
Now we know the width, since it is simply x. To find length all we have to do is add 400.
400 + 85 = 485

It's a line, it intersects two or more coplanar lines.
X=90 which (180-90) is 90 for m and n
That's <u>always</u> true if <em>either</em> the exponent <em>or </em>the base is less than ' 1 '.
(But not always of they both are.)
I believe the correct number is 88.
