Question 1037603: 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
2) if the perimeter of the field is 100 meters, write an equation in x to represent the perimeter of the field.
3) hence, solve the equation and state the lengty of the field. Found 2 solutions by stanbon, MathTherapy:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
Ans: x + 10
-----------
2) if the perimeter of the field is 100 meters, write an equation in x to represent the perimeter of the field.
P = 2(length + width)
100 = 2(x+10 + x
50 = 2x + 20
2x = 30
x = 15 meters (width)
x+10 = 25 meters (length)
------------------------
3) hence, solve the equation and state the length of the field.
