Problema Solution
The perimeter of a rectangular park is 200 meters. What are the dimensions of the park if it has an area of 2304 m?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the park, w>0
l = the length of the park, l>0
the perimeter of a rectangular park is 200 meters
2(l + w) = 200
it has an area of 2304 m
l*w = 2304
since the area of rectangle = length*width
by solving the system of equations
2(l + w) = 200
l*w = 2304
we find
l = 64 m
w = 36 m
the dimensions of the park are 64 m and 36 m.
