I would list all the factors of 480 (as pairs of numbers whose product is 480).

Then find two pairs of numbers (L1,W1 and L2,W2) satisfying these properties.

(It won't take long, since there are at most sqrt(480) (rounded down) pairs of numbers whose product is 480, ie. just try the numbers 1,2,3,...,21.)

Hope that helps!

How do you find the widths of a rectangle with the lengths?

You can't find the widths of a rectangle with the lengths because the widths can be anything lower than the lengths. Like if your rectangle had a length of 7 the width can be 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and so on.

Area is length x width. Meanwhile Perimeter is the addition of all the lengths and widths of the entire geometric polygon.


What is the perimeter of 5000 acres in meters?

You can't tell the linear dimensions from knowing only the area. There are an infinite number of shapes that all have the same area. Even if you consider only rectangles, there are still an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different lengths and widths, that all have areas of 5,000 acres.
