Grade is slope = rise / run
a) horizontal distance 1400 ft (run) vertical distance = 40 ft (rise)

Answer:
Length of the room is 180 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a rectangular room with dimensions:
width = 70 ft and length "x" (unknown)
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2*w + 2*x and according to problem statement 500 ft of lights will fit exactly in room perimeter then:
2*70 + 2*x = 500
140 + 2*x = 500
2*x = 500 - 140
2*x = 360
x = 360/2
x = 180 ft
