Question

a pasture is twice as long as it is wide. it's area is 115,000ft^2. How wide is the pasture?

Answer 1

area of a rectangle is given by \[A=\ell*w\]We know that \(\ell = 2w\) so we can substitute that in the equation and write \(A = (2w)*w = 2w^2= 115000 \text{ [ft]}^2\) Solve that for \(w\) and you've got your answer.

Answer 2

thanks!!!

Answer 3

w=240
