Answer:
I. L = 10.35 feet
II. W = 93.15 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle be L.
Let the width of the rectangle be W.
Given the following data;
Perimeter of rectangular field = 1700 feet
Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;
W = 9L
Mathematically, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is;
P = 2(L + W)
A. To write an equation;
X = P = 2(L + W)
B. To find the dimensions of the field;
207 = 2(L + 9L)
207 = 2L + 18L
207 = 20L
L = 207/20
L = 10.35 feet
To find the weight;
W = 9L
W = 9 * 10.35
W = 93.15 feet.
Therefore, the width of the field is
93.15 feet and the length of the field is
10.35 feet.
