Question

a regtangle lot is 120 yards long and 75 yards wide . Give the legth of anouther retanguler lot that has the same premiter but a larger area

Answer 1

120 by 75

has perimeter = 2(120+75)= 2x195 = 390

a square with same perimeter would

be 390/4 = 97.5 by 97.5 yds

squares have the largest area with a fixed perimeter

Length = 97 1/2 yards
