Question

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 2,260 ft Determine the​ flag's width and length if the length is 390 ft greater than the width.

Answer 1

width= 370 ; length= 760

Explanation:

let the width be x

then the length will be x+390

✓per = 2(l+w)

2260 = 2{(x+390) + (x)}

= 2x+780+2x

=4x + 780

4x+780 = 2260

✓4x = 1480

✓ x = 370

width = 370ft

length= 370+390

=760ft
