Two rectangular properties share a common side. Lot A is 12.5 meters wide and 6.8 meters long. The perimeter of the lots is 47 square meters. How many feet wide is Lot B (what is the value of x)?

a 27.7 meters
b 5.7 meters
c 4.2 meters
d 8.4 meters

Answer 1

The answer is A 27.7

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

47=2 x ( 12.5 + ( 6.8 + x ))

23.5= 12.5 + ( 6.8 + x )

11= 6.8 + x

4.2= x

Lot B is 4.2 feet wide
