A rectangular field is 130 yards long and 90 yards wide.
Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same perimeter but a smaller area.

Answer 1

i would abso. murder this, @snowflake0531

Answer 2

imagine murdering a question

Answer 3

i tend to majorly overthink things.

Answer 4

So we have
130 and 90 as the two side lengths
which means we have 220 yards in all for length and width
The area for 130 x 90 = 16200

So you want to use the 220 yards and make two lengths that multiply together to less than 16200
an example would be 1 x 119 which is 119 yards lol

Answer 5

THat's an example, you can use other side lengths too
i mean i don't think you want a field with 1 yard as the width o-O

Answer 6

ooo ok

Answer 7

but i still dont get it ;-;

Answer 8

Well, you can do
1 x 119
2 x 118
3 x 117
and for example
15 x 105

Answer 9

but the correct answer was 16 length 12 width, how do you get that answer?

Answer 10

that's wrong

Answer 11

That wouldn't be the same perimeter then

Answer 12

when i typed the answer that you gave me it was incorrect

Answer 13

there is more than one answer, and 16 x 12 is definitely not one of them

Answer 14

thats what the program says
