A park has a length to width ratio of 7:4 and the perimeter of the park is 880 meters. What are the length and width of the park?

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of length to width = 7 : 4

length = 7x

width = 4x

7x + 4x = 11x

length = 880

[tex]880 + 4x = 11x[/tex]

[tex]880 = 11x - 4x[/tex]

[tex]880 = 7x[/tex]

[tex] \frac{880}{7} = x[/tex]

[tex]125.71 = x[/tex]

width = 4x

= 4(125.71)

= 502.85
