The length of a rectangular field is 10 meters longer than its width. If the width is x meters: 1) write an expression in x to represent the length of the field
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "2) if the perimeter of the field is 100 meters, write an equation in x to represent the perimeter of the field.
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(length + width)
\n" ); document.write( "100 = 2(x+10 + x
\n" ); document.write( "50 = 2x + 20
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = 15 meters (width)
\n" ); document.write( "x+10 = 25 meters (length)
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "3) hence, solve the equation and state the length of the field.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------
