The longest runaway at an airport has the shape of a rectangle and an area of 2,306,600
Square feet. The runaway is 190 feet wide how long is the runaway
Let
x -----> the length of the the runaway
y ----> the width of the runaway
The area of the runaway is equal to
A=x*y
we have
A=2,306,600 ft2
y=190 ft
x=?
substitute the given values in the formula
2,306,600=x*190
solve for x
x=2,306,600/190
x=12,140 ft
therefore
