Question

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 2 comma 400 ft Determine the​ flag's width and length if the length is 260 ft greater than the width.

The​ flag's width is :
Its length is ft.:

Answer 1

the width is 470 ft and the length is 730 ft.

Explanation:

Perimeter of a flag is 2l+2w

Let w = width

Let l = w+260

2(w+260)+2w=2,400

2w+520+2w=2400

4w+520=2400

4w=1880

w=470

So, the length would be 470+260, or 730

Therefore, the width is 470 ft and the length is 730 ft.

I hope this helped and have a good rest of your day!
