Question

The length of a rectangular piece of land is 60 yard more than two times its width. The perimeter is 540 yard. Find its dimensions.

Answer 1

l=200 yard

w=70 yard

Explanation:

let width =w

length l=2w+60

then perimeter P=2(l+w)=2(2w+60+w)=540

3w+60=270

3 w=270-60=210

w=70

l=2*70+60=200
