Reconstruction 23531

The enclosure for lions in the ZOO has a rectangular shape with a length of 5.6m and a width of 6.8m. During the reconstruction, the length of the fence must be adjusted to 5.2 m so that the size (contents) of the paddock stays the same. What will be the width of the paddock after the reconstruction?

Correct answer:

b2 =  7.3231 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a=5.6 m b=6.8 m  a2=5.2 m  S=a b=5.6 6.8=25952=38.08 m2  b2=S/a2=38.08/5.2=7.3231 m
