10. Write an inverse variation to model the situation and answer the question. Two rectangular fields have the same area. One measures 75 yd by 60 yd. If the other has a length of 72 yd, what is its width?. show your work
Answer: equation is: width = area / length width = 62.5 yd
Explanation: For the first rectangle: We have: length = 75 yd and width = 60 yd Therefore: area = length * width area = 75 * 60 area = 4500 yd²
For the second rectangle: We have: area = area of first rectangle = 4500 yd² length = 72 yd area = length * width width = area / length ............> The required equation width = 4500 / 72 width = 62.5 yd
