Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 340 yd. The length is 30 yd longer than the width. Find the dimensions.

Answer 1

Let x = width x + 30 = length 2x + 2(x+30) = 340 4x + 60 = 340 4x = 280 x = 70 Width  x = 70 yd

Length  x + 30= 100 yd 

Perimeter = 2l + 2w= 2l=200 w=140 200+140 = 340 yd
