QuestionAn ecology center has 260 m of fencing for a garden area of 4000 m². Find the rectangle's length and width.
(a) Let $x=$ length; width is $130-x$. (b) Area equation: $4000=x(130-x)$. (c) Find the dimensions.

Studdy Solution
The length and width of the rectangle are80 meters and50 meters respectively. Since the length is usually the longer side, we take $x =80$ as the length and $130 -80 =50$ as the width.
The dimensions of the rectangle are80 meters (length) and50 meters (width).
