Question

A rectangle park is 85 yards long and 50 yards wide give a length and width of an other rectangle park that has the same perimeter but smaller area

Answer 1

Answer:

Length: 86 yards and width: 49 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangle A: width =50 and length=85

Perimeter = 2(50) x 2(85) = 270 yd

Area: 50 x 85 = 4,250 yd^2

Rectangle B: width: 49 and length= 86

Perimeter: 2(49) + 2(86) = 270 yd

Area: 49 x 86 = 4,214 yd^2

4,214 < 4,250

Perimeter of A = perimeter of B
