Question

A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 2,120 ft Determine the flag's width and length if the length is 380 ft greater than the width The flag's width is ft.​

Answer 1

the width is 360 ft

Explanation:

The computation of the width of the flag is shown below:

Let us assume the width be x

So the length would be x + 340

And, the perimeter is 2,120 ft

So the formula is

Perimeter = 2(length + width)

2,120 = 2(x + 340 + x)

2,120 = 2x + 680 + 2x

2,120 = 4x + 680

4x = 2,120 - 680

x = 360

hence, the width is 360 ft
