Question

A man mows his 100 ft by 200 ft rectangular lawn in a spiral pattern starting from the outside edge. After a bit of hard work he stops for a water break, he is 40.5% done. How wide of a strip has he mowed around the outside edge

Answer 1

Based on the length and width of the rectangular lawn, and the percentage the man has mowed, the strip width would be 40.5 m.

what is the width of the strip mowed already?

first, find the area of the lawn:

= 100 x 200

= 20,000 ft²

the area mowed is:

= 40.5% x 20,000

= 8,100 ft²

the width is therefore:

= 8,100 / 200

= 40.5 m
