Problema Solution
A building in a city has a rectangular base. The length of the base measures 75ft less than 3 times the width. The perimeter of this base is 930 ft. what are the dimensions of the base?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'l' and 'w' stand for the length and width of the base of the city building. We can write:
l=3w-75 ('The length of the base measures 75ft less than 3 times the width')
2l+2w=930 ('The perimeter of this base is 930 ft')
Using Algebrator to solve for 'l' and 'w', we get:
l=330 ft
w=135 ft
