Question

A rectangles field is 135 meters long and 100 meters wide give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same perimeter but a larger area

Answer 1

Answer: if the length of the second rectangular field is 200 meters, the width should be 35 meters to have the same perimeter but a larger area.

Explanation:

STEP1:- Let's denote the length of the second rectangular field as L2 and the width as W2.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Perimeter = 2(length + width).

For the first rectangular field with length L1 = 135 meters and width W1 = 100 meters, the perimeter is:

Perimeter1 = 2(135 + 100) = 470 meters.

STEP 2:- To find the length and width of the second rectangular field with the same perimeter but a larger area, we need to consider that the perimeters of both rectangles are equal.

Perimeter1 = Perimeter2

470 = 2(L2 + W2)

STEP 3 :- To determine the larger area, we need to find the corresponding length and width. However, there are multiple solutions for this problem. We can set an arbitrary value for one of the dimensions and calculate the other.

For example, let's assume the length of the second rectangular field as L2 = 200 meters:

470 = 2(200 + W2)

470 = 400 + 2W2

2W2 = 470 - 400

2W2 = 70

W2 = 35 meters

HENCE L2 = 200 meters and W2 = 35 meters

Answer 2

The length is 117.5
The width is 117.5
