Question

The longest runaway at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 2057000 This runaway is 170 feet wide how long is the runaway ? Is it ft. Or ft to the second power

Answer 1

Given:

shap of runaway is rectangle that mean area of rectangle is :

`\text{Area}=\text{length}*\text{width}`

The width of rectangle is 170 feet

Area of rectangle is 2057000

put all give data is formula of area then:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area=length}*\text{width} \\ 2057000=\text{length}*170 \\ \text{length}=(2057000)/(170) \\ \text{length}=12100 \end{gathered}`

And length in ft that mean runway is 12100 ft long.
