Question

A corn field has an area of 48,000 sq. ft. The width of the field is 600 feet.

Answer 1

(a) The area of the field is given as 48,000 sq. ft and the width is 600 feet.

The field is in a shape of a rectangle. So area of the field is the same as the area of a rectangle

Area of a rectangle is given as

`\text{Area = length }*\text{ width}`

So the equation as relates area to the length and width becomes

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area = length }*\text{ width} \\ 48,000=l*600 \\ 48,000=600l \end{gathered}`

Hence the equation is

`48,000=600l`

(b) The length of the field becomes
