Question

The rectangular field has a perimeter of 98 meters. The width of the perimeter is three times as much as five times the length. Calculate the:
a) The length and width of the perimeter.
b) The area of the perimeter.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) x = 3.0625m

  y = 45.9375 m

b) A = 140.68359375 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the length

Let y be the width

2x + 2y = 98

x + y = 49

y = 3(5x)

y = 15x

x + 15x = 49

16x = 49

x = 3.0625 m

y = 15(3.0625) = 45.9375

A = xy = 3.0625(45.9375) = 140.68359375
