Question

A rectangular lot of land is 120 feet long and has a perimeter of 400 feet. What is the width, in feet, of the lot?

Answer 1

Answer: 80 feet.

Step-by-step explanation: Let the width of the lot be x feet.

Given, the length of the lot is 120 feet.

Also, the perimeter of the lot is 400 feet.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 (Length + Width)

So, 400 = 2 (120 + x)

Simplifying the above equation, we get:

200 = 120 + x

x = 200 - 120

x = 80

Therefore, the width of the lot is 80 feet. ;D
