A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag?

Question

The perimeter of the flag is 2,120 ft Determine the flag's width and length if the length is 400 ft greater than the width.

Answer

Perimeter = 2 (L * W)

Given:

L = W + 400

Substitute:

Perimeter = 2 (W + 400 + W)
2120 = 2 (2W + 400)
2120 = 4W + 800
1320 = 4W
W = 330
L = 730

Answer

Ok, we have;
  l= 400+w
  p= 2(l+w)
wel,
 p= 2l+2w= 2,120
   = 2(400+w)+2w=2,120
   = 800+2w+2w= 2,120
   = 4w= 2120-800
   = 4w/4= 1320/4
   = 330.
and; l= 400+w
    l= 400+330
     = 730.
thus;
   l= 730ft
   w= 330ft
