Question

Number two help plz

Answer 1

The area of a rectangle is length + length + width + width, or 2l + 2w. Set these equal.

`(35)/(4)` =
`(7)/(2)` +
`(7)/(2)` + width + width

`(35)/(4)` = 7 + 2w; subtract 7 from both sides

`(7)/(4)` = 2w; divide both sides by 2

`(7)/(8)` = w, or the width (in meters)
