Question

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag The perimeter of the flag is 2,400 ft Determine the flag's width and length if the length is 320 ft greater than the width

The flag's width is what and the length is what ?

PLEASE HURRY

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's assume that the width of the floral mosaic flag is "x" ft.

According to the problem, the length of the flag is 320 ft greater than the width. So, the length will be x+320 ft.

The perimeter of the flag is given as 2,400 ft.

As the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width), we have:

2(x + x+320) = 2400

Simplifying the equation:

2(2x+320)=2400

4x+640=2400

4x=1760

x=440

So, the width of the floral mosaic flag is 440 ft.

And the length of the flag is x+320 = 440+320 = 760 ft.

Therefore, the width of the floral mosaic flag is 440 ft and the length is 760 ft.
