An architect is designing a rectangular
greenhouse. Along one wall is a 7-It storage area
and 5 sections for different kinds of plants. On the
opposite wall is a 4-It storage area and 6 sections
for plants. All of the sections for plants are of equal
length. What is the length of each wall?

Respuesta :

The length of each wall is 22 ft.

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the length of each section of the plant is equal.

Let the length of each plant is x.

Thus, the length of each side is a 7-ft storage area and 5 sections for different kinds of plants.

Length of one side = 7 + 5x

Similarly, on the opposite wall is a 4-ft storage area and 6 sections for plants. i.e.

Length of opposite side = 4 + 6x

For better understanding refer the figure 1:

As we know in a rectangle opposite sides are equal, thus.

7 + 5x = 4 + 6x

Solve for x.

7 - 4  =  6x-5x

x = 3

Thus, the length of one side is:

7 + 5(3) = 7 + 15 = 22 ft

Hence, the length of each wall is 22 ft.
