Question

The perimeter of a rectangular plot of land is 280 feet. If one of the sides of the rectangular plot is 50 feet in length, what is the length, in feet, of each of the longer sides of the plot?

Answer 1

90 feet.

Explanation:

2 sides are 50 feet long = 100 feet.

That leaves 280 - 100 = 180 feet.

So the length of the longer sides are both 90 feet.
