Question

Kirk and Montega mow the soccer playing fields. They must mow an area of 500 ft long and 400 feet wide. They agree that each will mow half the area. Kirk will mow around the edge in a path of equal width until half the area is left.

*What is the area each person will mow?
*write a quadratic wquation that could be used to find the width x that Kirk should mow. What width should Kirk mow?
*The mower ran a path 5 feet wide. to the nearest whole #, how many times should Kirk go around the field?

Answer 1

The area each person will mow is 100000 sq.ft.

Answer 2

how did u get it?

Answer 3

Area is l x w, so 400,000 x 500,000 is 200,000 and half of that is 100,000.

If Kirk mows half of the 400 ft. width, then 1/2(400) is 200.

If the mower mows a 5 ft. wide path, how many passes will Kirk need to make?
