ANSWER
96 yd
EXPLANATION
Let the width of the rectangle be w, then, the length of the rectangle will be:

The area of a rectangle is calculated using the formula:



It was given that, the area of the rectangle is 320yd²

Divide both sides by 5.

Take square root of both sides to get:

This means the length is

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
P=2(w+l)
We plug in the values to get:

The perimeter is 96yd

Solutions
To solve this problem we have to use the Pythagorean theorem. You can only use the Pythagorean theorem in Right Triangles. The longest side of the triangle is called the "hypotenuse". C² is the longest side so it is the hypotenuse . To calculate c² we have to do α² + β² = c².
Given
One leg of a right triangular piece of land has a length of 24 yards. They hypotenuse has a length of 74 yards. The other leg has a length of 10x yards.
First leg (24 yards) would be α
Second leg would be β
Hypotenuse (74 yards) would be c
Now we have points α β c.
a² (24) + β² ( x ) = c² (74)
Calculations
c² = α² + β²
74² = 24²+ β²
<span>5476 = 576 + </span>β²
5476 - 576 = β²
<span> </span>
<span>4900 = </span>β²
→√4900
<span> </span>
β<span> = 70 yards
</span>
<span>70 = 10x
</span>
<span>x = 70</span>÷<span>10 = 7 yards
</span>
The second leg = 7 yards
