The dimensions of a rectangular parcel.
Answer to Problem 10T
The dimensions of the parcel is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The rectangular parcel is
Calculation:
Let the width is w, length is l and diagonal is d of the parcel.
The given condition states that the length of parcel is
Use Pythagoras theorem for w, l, and d,
Substitute 130 for d and
Further, solve above equation for value of w,
The width of land must be a positive number because dimensions cannot be measure in negative number so conclude that
Substitute 50 for w into
Thus, the dimensions of the parcel is
