Question

A park is a rectangle a fence runs along all four sides the area of the park is 5,400 yards squared the length is 1.5 times longer then the width what is the perimeter of the park

Answer 1

Perimeter of the park = 300 yards

Explanation:

Area of a rectangle= length * width

Area of the rectangular park = 5,400 yards squared

Let

Width= x

Length= 1.5 * x = 1.5 x

Area of a rectangle= length * width

5,400= 1.5x * x

5400= 1.5x^2

x^2= 5400 / 1.5

x^2 = 3600

Take the Square root of both sides

√x^2 = √3600

x=60

Therefore,

Width = x = 60 yards

Length = 1.5x

=1.5(60)

=90 yards

Perimeter of the rectangular park = 2(length + width)

=2(90+60)

=2(150)

= 300 yards
