The Builder's Old Measurement was instituted by law in England in 1773 as the way to estimate the total tonnage T of a wooden ship from its beam width W and length L, both measured in feet. The formula isT = (L − 0.6W)W2188.In this exercise, we consider wooden ships of length 160 feet. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)(a) What tonnage is given by the Builder's Old Measurement for a ship of beam width 35 feet?(b) What beam width will give a tonnage of 400?

We will find the Tonnage and the width.
