The length of flag is 760 feet and width of flag is 320 feet
Solution:
A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag
Since, the flag is generally of shape rectangle, we can use the formula of rectangle
Let "a" be the length of rectangle
Let "b" be the width of rectangle
The length is 440 ft greater than the width
Length = 440 + width
a = 440 + b ----- eqn 1
The perimeter of the flag is 2,160 ft
The perimeter of rectangle is given as:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Substituting the given values, we get
2160 = 2(440 + b + b)
2160 = 880 + 4b
4b = 2160 - 880
4b = 1280
b = 320
Substitute b = 320 in eqn 1
a = 440 + 320
a = 760
Thus the length of flag is 760 feet and width of flag is 320 feet
