Question 1000777: A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 500 feet. Determine the flags length and width if he length is 110 feet greater than the width.
So what is flags length and width as feet?

P = perimeter = 2L + 2W = 500
But L = 110 + W so substitute that into the first equation and get
2(110+W)+2W=500
220+2W+2W=500
4W+220=500
4W=280
W=70 feet
L = 180 feet
