Question

The length of a rectangular field is 25 m more than its width. The perimeter of the field is 450 m. What is the actual width and length?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

length= 125

width= 100

Step-by-step explanation:

let width have a length of x m

therefore length= (x+25)m

perimeter=2(length +width)

p=2((x+25)+x)

p=4x+50

but we have perimeter to be 450,, we equate it to 4x+50 above,

450=4x+50

4x=400

x=100 m

length= 125

width= 100
