Given:

  • the perimeter of a rectangular field is 84 yards
  • the ratio of the length to the width is 2:1

To find:

  • the length
  • the width
  • the area

Answer:

Let's assume that the length is 2x and the width is 1x.

We know that the formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is as follows:

Perimeter = 2 × (Length + Width)

Substituting the values that we have, into the formula above,

84 = 2 × (2x + 1x)

84 = 2 × 3x

84/2 = 3x

42 = 3x

x = 42/3

x = 14

Since we know the value of 'x', let's use it to find the length and the width.

Length = 2x = 2 × 14 = 28

Width = 1x = 1 × 14 = 14

Since we now know the length and the width, let's find the area of the rectangle.

The formula to find the area of a rectangle:

Area = Length × Width

Substituting the values we have into the formula,

Area = 28 × 14

Area = 392

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 392 square yards.

Hope it helps. :)

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 4 feet
zaharov [31]

Answer:

514 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Just simply use the pythagorean thereom:

a^2 +b^2 = c^2

put in the values of a, b, and c with the side lengths of the triangle:

x feet, 64 feet, and x+4 feet

x^2 +64^2 = (x+4)^2 , thus x =510

the hypotenuse = x+4 feet = 510 + 4 = 514

ANSWER: 514 feet
