A campground consist of 10 square campsites arranged in a line along the beach the distance from the edge of the campsite to the water is 4 yards the area of the campground including the beach Is 1050 yd.² what's the width of one campsite
8.44 yd
To find the width of one campsite, we need to determine the total width of the campground and then divide it by the number of campsites.
Let's assume that the width of one campsite is "x" yards.
Since there are 10 campsites arranged in a line, the total width of the campground, including the space between campsites, can be calculated as follows:
Total width = (Number of campsites + 1) * Width of one campsite
In our case, the number of campsites is 10, so the total width can be expressed as:
Total width = (10 + 1) * x
The distance between the edge of the campsite and the water is given as 4 yards. We know that the total area of the campground, including the beach, is 1050 yd².
The area of a rectangle is given by the formula: Area = length * width. In our case, the length is considered to be the total width of the campground.
Therefore, we have the equation:
1050 = Total width * 4
So, (10 + 1) * x * 4 = 1050
To solve for x, we can rearrange the equation as follows:
(11 * x * 4) = 1050
44x = 1050
Now, we can solve for x:
x = 1050 / 44
x ≈ 23.86
Therefore, the width of one campsite is approximately 23.86 yards.
telling you there is a total
let
the width
10w^2+8w*4=1050
now solve for w
telling you there is a total
let
the width
10w^2+10w*4=1050
now solve for w
