Answer:
Width = 10 feet
Length = 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width = x feet
Length = x + 5
Perimeter = 50 feet
2 * ( length + width) = 50
2 * (x+5 + x) = 50
2x + 5 = 50/2
2x + 5 = 25
2x = 25 - 5 = 20
x = 20/2 = 10
Width = 10 feet
Length = 10 + 5 = 15 feet
Answer:
The length of a rectangular lot is 15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of rectangle be x
We are given that the length is five feet more than the width.
Length of rectangle = x+5
Perimeter of rectangle =[tex]2(l+b)=2(x+5+x)=2(2x+5)=4x+10[/tex]
We are given that perimeter is 50 feet
So,[tex]4x+10=50[/tex]
[tex]4x=40[/tex]
x=10
So, Length of rectangle = x+5=10+5=15
Hence the length of a rectangular lot is 15 feet
