Question

A rectangular field is twelve times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 2340 feet, what are the dimensions of the field?

Answer 1

Answer: Width - 90 feet, Length - 1080 feet

Explanation:

Let the width = x.

Then the length = 12x.

The perimeter is 2 * (width + length)

2340 = 2*(x+12x)

1170 = 13x

x = 90.

Therefore, the width = 90 feet and the length = 1080 feet
