Question

A park has a length to width ratio of 7:4 and the perimeter of the park is 880 meters. What are the length and width of the park?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4

length = 7x

width = 4x

7x + 4x = 11x

length = 880

`880 + 4x = 11x`

`880 = 11x - 4x`

`880 = 7x`

`(880)/(7) = x`

`125.71 = x`

width = 4x

= 4(125.71)

= 502.85
