Answer:
136 m
Explanation:
Let w = the width of the rectangular field.
Let l = the length of the rectangular field.
The formula for the perimeter P of the rectangular field is:
P = 2w + 2l
Since the length l is 7 m less than 4 times the width w, then we can write the following equation that relates l and w:
l = 4w - 7 m
Since l = 4w - 7 and it's given that perimeter P = 136 m, then we can substitute this information into the perimeter formula as follows:
P = 2w + 2l
136 m = 2w + 2(4w - 7 m)
136 m = 2w + 2(4w) - 2(7 m)
136 m = 2w + 8w - 14 m
136 m + 14m = 10w - 14 m + 14 m
150 m = 10w + 0
10w = 150 m
(10w)/10 = 150 m/10
(10/10)w = 150 m/10
(1)w = 15 m
w = 15 m
Therefore, l = 4w - 7 m
l = 4(15 m) - 7 m
l = 60 m - 7m
l = 53 m
CHECK:
P = 2w + 2l
136 m = 2(15 m) + 2(53 m)
136 m = 30 m + 106 m
136 m = 136 m
