The area of a rectangular Park whose width is 1/3 rd Of the length is 980sq. M. Estimate the length to the nearest whole m
If the length is x, then the width is x/3. So, you have
x * x/3 = 980
x^2 = 2940
x ≈ 54m
To estimate the length of the rectangular park, we need to solve the equation for the area.
Let's assume that the length of the rectangular park is "L" meters. Since the width is 1/3 rd of the length, the width would be (1/3)L meters.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is A = length * width. So, we can write the equation as:
A = (1/3)L * L = 980 sq. m
To solve this equation for L, we can rearrange it and solve for L:
(1/3)L^2 = 980
To isolate L^2, we multiply both sides by 3:
L^2 = 3 * 980
L^2 = 2940
Taking the square root of both sides, we find:
L = sqrt(2940)
Using a calculator, we can calculate the square root:
L ≈ 54.08
Therefore, the length of the rectangular park is approximately 54 meters (rounded to the nearest whole number).
