A seed company planted a floral mosaic of a national flag. The perimeter of the flag is 420 feet. Determine the flag's length and width if the length is 110 feet greater than the width. Use pencil and paper. Write three situations to which you could apply the resulting system of equations. What is the flags width? HELP ME PLS

Width  = 50ft

Length = 160ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameter:

The perimeter of the flag is 420ft

Unknown:

Length of flag  = ?

Width of flag  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

 Perimeter of the flag is given as:

  Perimeter  = 2(Length + width)

Length  =110 + Width

  Now insert the parameters:

     420  = 2(110 + Width + Width )

   let w = width

     420  = 2(110 + 2w)

     420  = 220 + 4w    

      4w  = 200

         w  = 50ft

Length  = 110 + 50 = 160ft
