Answer:
length and width = 40 and 10 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a rectangular toddler play area is 100 feet.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Let the width = w
The length is 10 feet more than 3 times the width. Length = 10+(3w)
now put the values
100 = 2(10+3w + w)
100 = 2w + 20 + 6w
100 = (2w + 6w) + 20
100 = 8w + 20
8w = 100 - 20
w =
w = 10 feet.
Now Length = 10+ (3w)
= 10+( 3 × 10)
= 10 + 30
= 40 feet
Therefore, length = 40 feet and width = 10 feet
