Question

answer the question below

(a) the perimeter of a rectangle parking lot is 374 m. If the width of the parking lot is 88m, what is the length?
length of the parking lot _m

(b) the area of a rectangular pool is 6768m^2. if the length of the pool is 94m, what is its width?
width of the pool _m

Answer 1

(a) To find the length of the rectangle parking lot, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)

Given that the perimeter is 374m and the width is 88m, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the length:

374 = 2 * (Length + 88)

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

374/2 = Length + 88

187 = Length + 88

Subtract 88 from both sides:

Length = 187 - 88

Length = 99m

So, the length of the parking lot is 99m.

(b) To find the width of the rectangular pool, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = Length * Width

Given that the area is 6768m^2 and the length is 94m, we can substitute these values into the equation and solve for the width:

6768 = 94 * Width

Divide both sides of the equation by 94:

6768/94 = Width

Width ≈ 72m (rounded to the nearest whole number)

So, the width of the pool is approximately 72m.
