A rectangular field is 120 meters long and 75 meters wide.
Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the same perimeter but a smaller area.
width = 0 meters
X
5
?
length =
meters

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 120 m ; b = 75 m

Perimeter = 2*(l+b) = 2*(120+75) = 2* 195 = 390 m

Area = l*b = 120*75 = 9000 sq.m

Another rectangular field:

length and width should be factor of 195 as both should have the same perimeter.

L = 190m ; b= 5m

Perimeter = 2*(190+5) = 2*195 = 390 m

Area = 190*5 = 950 sq.m

Same perimeter and a smaller area.

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
