Head = 10 Ft long,
Body = X Ft long.
Tail = (X/2 + 10) Ft long.
T + H = B.
(X/2 + 10) + 10 = X
X/2 + 20 = X,
X + 40 = 2x,
2x - X = 40,
B = X = 40 Ft. = Length of body.
T = X/2 + 10 = 40/2 + 10 = 30 Ft.
H = 10 Ft.
Body = X Ft long.
Tail = (X/2 + 10) Ft long.
T + H = B.
(X/2 + 10) + 10 = X
X/2 + 20 = X,
X + 40 = 2x,
2x - X = 40,
B = X = 40 Ft. = Length of body.
T = X/2 + 10 = 40/2 + 10 = 30 Ft.
H = 10 Ft.
