Answer:
Length and width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a smaller area is found out
Length = 95 feet
Width = 45 feet
Explanation:
A rectangular lot is 50 yards wide and 90 yards long.
Perimeter = 2 x (length + breadth) = 2 x ( 90 + 50) = 280 feet
Area = length x breadth = 90 x 50 = 4500 ft²
Here we need to find length and width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a smaller area.
So perimeter of new rectangle = 280 feet
2 x (length + breadth) = 280
length + breadth = 140
Assume length = 95 feet , so width = 140 - 95 = 45 feet
Area = 95 x 45 =4275 ft²
Here area is less than 4500 ft².
Length and width of another rectangular lot that has the same perimeter but a smaller area is found out
Length = 95 feet
Width = 45 feet
