Question

The perimeter (P) of a rectangular field is 1,672 ft. Suppose the width (w) of the field is 230 feet. What is the length (l) of the field? (P = 2l + 2w) A) 460 feet B) 606 feet C) 656 feet D) 836 feet

Answer 1

Answer: b) 606 ft

Step-by-step explanation: P=2L +2w

1,672=2(L)+2(230)

1,672=2(L)+460

1,212=2(L)

606=L

Answer 2

Option B

Explanation:

Let l and w be length and breadth of the rectangular field .

Perimeter of the rectangular field = 1,672 feet

Width (w) of the rectangular field = 230 feet

To find : length (l) of the rectangular field

Solution:

We know that perimeter of rectangular field ( P ) = 2( l + w )

1672 =2( l + 230 )

`(1672)/(2) =l+230`

836 = l + 230

l = 836 - 230

l = 606 feet

Therefore, option B is correct .
