Correct Answer: The area of the field 8,800 Sq. feet.
Explanation:
Let, the width = x feet
the length = x + 30 feet
We know, perimeter = 2(Length + breadth)
Perimeter = 2(x + 30 + x)
According to the question
2(x + 30 +x) = 380
=> 4x + 60 = 380
=> 4x = 380 – 60
x = 80 feet.
The length is = 80 + 30 = 110 feet
Area =110 x 80 Sq. feet
= 8,800 Sq. feet
