Question

a rectangular plot of ground is 10 meters longer than it is wide. its area is 10,000 square meters, find the large and wide of the plot of ground.

Answer 1

First, let's draw the problem and remember the formula for the area of a rectangle

Now we just need to replace the values that we already know L=10m A=10000 m^2. And solve for Wide

Now we just need to replace w in the equation L=10w

Finally, the plot of ground is 316.2 meters large and 31.62 meters wide.
