Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

just a guess, it seems like you are asked about only dimensions of the big one, isnt that just 2/3 of 2700 km2. that is 1800km2 which = 60 km x 20km.

Answer:

All kinds of questions since you don't describe the enclosures.

Do the two fields have the same width?

Are there two disjointed fields with the same width and one length twice the other?

If they are joined by a common width, is that common width included in the total perimeter?

I guess this is d answer=60km×30km
