Answer: The width is 330 feet and the length is 790 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
We will write a system of equations to help us solve. Let w be the width and l be the length.
2w + 2l = 2,240 ft
l = 460 ft + w
Now, we will solve for w, the width, by substituting one equation into the other.
2w + 2l = 2,240 ft, l = 460 ft + w
2w + 2(460 ft + w) = 2,240 ft
2w + 920 ft + 2w = 2,240 ft
4w + 920 ft = 2,240 ft
4w = 1,320 ft
w = 330 ft
The width is 330 feet.
Now, we will solve for l, the length.
l = 460 ft + w, w = 330 ft
l = 460 ft + 330 ft
l = 790 ft
The length is 790 feet.
