Question

A rectangular field is 90 yards long and 60 yards wide.Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same perimeter but a larger area.

Answer 1

Answer:

The length and width of another rectangular field with same perimeter but a larger area is 80 m by 70 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the existing field is

2(l + b)

= 2(90 + 60) = 2(150) = 300 yards

So we want another field having the same perimeter but a larger area

The area we have here is 90 * 60 = 5,400 square yards

If we had 80 by 70

Perimeter will still be 2(70 + 80) = 150

But the area will be 80 * 70 = 5,600 square yards
