By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.
<h3>
How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>
For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:
P = 2*(x + y).
Here we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft
p = 890ft = 2(x + y)
So we have a system of equations.
To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:
890ft = 2(x + y)
890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)
Now we can solve this for y.
890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y
890ft + 130ft = 6y
1020ft/6 = y = 170ft
So the width is 170ft, and we know that:
x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft
So the length is 275 ft.

Answer:
answer is in picture
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) requires employers to withhold a certain percentage of an employee's income as tax. The categories are:
6.2% as social security tax
1.45% as Medicare tax
0.9% as Medicare surtax for employees earning more than $200,000
In this case, the percentage of tax applied will be 6.2 + 1.45 = 7.65%
The FICA tax will be 165,000 * 0.0765
FICA tax = $12,622.50</span>
When you get to the point where the width is larger than the length, you can stop because you have exhausted all the possibilities. The greatest area will be the rectangle that is closer in to a square than any of the others.
