Question 759458: A new City park is rectangular. The length is triple the width. It will take 240 yards of fencing to go around the park. Find the length and width of the park. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Width = x
Length = 3x
Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length
240 = 2(x) + 2(3x)
240 = 2x + 6x
240 = 8x
x = 240/8
x = 30
So, Width = 30ft and Length = 90ft.
Hope this helps.
