Problema Solution

The perimeter of a rectangular lot is 980 m. The length of the field is 30 m less than three times the width. Find the dimensions.

Answer provided by our tutors

let width = x , length = 3x-30

perimeter = 980

2(x+3x-30) = 980

4x -30 = 490

4x = 520

x = 130

width = 130m ,length = 3*130-30 = 360m
