The width of a rectangular field is 60% of its length?

The width of a rectangular field is 60% of its length. How big is the field, if the owner occupied 280 meters of cyclonic fence to fence it?

En resumen

First : 60% = 60 / 100 = 0. 6 If the width is 60% of this length : x = 0. 6y ec. 1 2x + 2y = 280 ec. 2 replacing ec. 1 on ec. 2 : 2 * (0. 6y) + 2y = 280 1. 2y + 2y = 280 3. 2y = 280 y = 280 / 3. 2 y = 87. 5 The length is 87. 5m On the ec. 1 : x = 0. 6y x = 0.

First : 60% = 60 / 100 = 0.

6

If the width is 60% of this length :

x = 0.

6y ec.

1

2x + 2y = 280 ec.

2

replacing ec.

1 on ec.

2 :

2 * (0.

6y) + 2y = 280

1.

2y + 2y = 280

3.

2y = 280

y = 280 / 3.

2

y = 87.

5

The length is 87.

5m

On the ec.

1 :

x = 0.

6y

x = 0.

6 * 87.

5

x = 52.

5

The width is 52.

5m

Now the area of the field is :

A = L * W

A = 87.

5 * 52.

5

A = 4593.

75

The field area is 4593.

75 m²
