Respuesta :
this means you should do 240*3/8 which is 90. so 90 times 240=21600
the answer is 216000km^2
the answer is 216000km^2
Let the length of the rectangular field be x.
Given, the width of the field is 3/8 of the length.
So width = [tex] (\frac{3}{8} )x [/tex] = [tex] \frac{3x}{8} [/tex]
Given, the width of the rectangular field = 240m
So we can write the equation as,
[tex] \frac{3x}{8} = 240 [/tex]
First we have to move 8 to the right side by multiplying 8 to both sides.
[tex] (\frac{3x}{8} )(8) = (240)(8) [/tex]
[tex] 3x = (240)(8) [/tex]
[tex] 3x = 1920 [/tex]
We can get x, by moving 3 to the right side by dividing 3 to both sides.
[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{1920}{3} [/tex]
[tex] x = \frac{1920}{3} [/tex]
[tex] x = 640 [/tex]
So we have got the length of the rectangular field = 640m = 0.64 km.
width of the field = 240m = 0.24 km.
We know the formula to find the area of the rectangle = [tex] (l)(w) [/tex]
where, [tex] l [/tex] = length and [tex] w [/tex] = width
By plugging in the values in the formula we will get,
Area = [tex] (0.64)(0.24) [/tex][tex] km^2 [/tex]
= [tex] 0.1536 km^2 [/tex] = [tex] 0.154 km^2 [/tex] ( Approximately taken to the nearest thousandth)
So we have got the required answer.
The area of the rectangular field = [tex] 0.154 km^2 [/tex]
