The area of a rectangular field is equal to 50 square meters.
The area of a rectangular field is equal to 50 square meters. Its perimeter is equal to 30 meters. Find the width of this rectangle.
Answer/Solution
5
Steps/Work
L * W = 50 : area , L is the length and W is the width.
2 L + 2 W = 30 : perimeter
L = 15 - w : solve for L
(15 - W) * W = 30 : substitute in the area equation
W = 5 and L = 10
correct answer A
2 L + 2 W = 30 : perimeter
L = 15 - w : solve for L
(15 - W) * W = 30 : substitute in the area equation
W = 5 and L = 10
correct answer A
