Aseed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. the perimeter of the flag is 500 feet. determine the flag’s length and width if the length is 70 feet greater than the width.

Width = 90 feet and length = 160 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w = width

Let w + 70 = length

The perimeter would be 2(w) + 2(w + 70) = 2w+ 2w + 140 which must equal 500 feet.

Add the like terms:

4w+140=500; subtract 140 from both sides; 4w = 360; divide both sides by 4 and you get w= 90. If w = 90, then length = 90 + 70 = 160 feet
