Answer:
The width of the park is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] mile.
The area of each section is [tex]\dfrac{1}{40}[/tex] square miles.
The length of each section is [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] mile.
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangular community park has an area of [tex]A=\frac{1}{10}[/tex] square mile.
One side of the park is [tex]L=\frac{2}{5}[/tex] mile long.
Let W be the width of the park.
The area of the rectangle is given by,
[tex]Area =L\times W[/tex]
Substitute the value,
[tex]\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{2}{5}\times W[/tex]
[tex]W=\dfrac{5}{10\times 2}[/tex]
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
The width of the park is [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] mile.
The park has four equal-sized sections where different plants grow.
So, the rectangle divides into equal-sized sections means the half of length and width is the length and width of each section.
The length of each section is
[tex]l=\dfrac{L}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{2}{5}}{2}=\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex]
The width of each section is
[tex]w=\dfrac{W}{2}=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{2}=\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
The square miles are in each section is given by, [tex]a=l\times w[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]
[tex]a=\dfrac{1}{40}[/tex]
The area of each section is [tex]\dfrac{1}{40}[/tex] square miles.
The length of each section is [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] mile.
