Question: 448

2. The distance around a rectangular park is 1 mile. If the width of the park is 880 feet, what is its length?

  • A. 720 ft
  • B. 840 ft
  • C. 1,250 ft
  • D. 1,510 ft

Correct Answer: E

Explanation:

E is correct.1 mile = 5,280 ft. If the width of the park is 880 feet, then two sides of the park measure 880 + 880 = 1,760 ft. 5,280 − 1,760 = 3,520. The other two sides of the park must each measure one-half of 3,520 ft. 3,520 ÷ 2 = 1,760 ft.
