A rectangular field is 115 yards long and 65 yards wide. Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same perimeter but a smaller area.

Answer 1

The perimeter of the given rectangular field is 2*(115+65) = 2*180 = 360

The area is 115*65 = 7475

The second field with length = 120 and width = 60 also has perimeter 360

but the area is 120*60 = 7200

Answer 2

115 x 65 = 7475

175 x 5 = 875
