Answer:

Carrier A is 2,104 feet and Carrier B is 2,094 feet.

Explanation:

Since there are two aircraft carriers, A and B, and carrier A is longer in length than the carrier B, and the total length of these two carriers is 4198 feet, while the difference of their lengths is only 10 feet, to determine the length of each aircraft carrier, the following calculation must be performed:

(4,198 - 10) / 2 = X

4.188 / 2 = X

2,094 = X

2,094 + 10 = 2,104

2,094 + 2,104 = 4,198

Therefore, Carrier A is 2,104 feet and Carrier B is 2,094 feet.
