Algebra.Com's Answer #75330 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The rectangular field is 200x300 or 60,000 sq.m. currently. \n" ); document.write( "You want to leave 50,000 sq. m and the area of the road would take up the rest. \n" ); document.write( "Area of old field = Area of new field + Area of the road \n" ); document.write( "60,000 = 50,000 + Area of road \n" ); document.write( "We know the width of the road, x, but which dimension is the length of the road? \n" ); document.write( "Is it 200m or is it 300m. \n" ); document.write( "We'll solve for both. \n" ); document.write( "For the length of the road = 200m. \n" ); document.write( "Area of road = 200*x \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "For the length of the road = 300m. \n" ); document.write( "Area of road = 300*x \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
