This includes an easement of x feet of uniform width inside the lot on which no building can be done. If the buildable area is 133 ft by 51 ft, determine the width of the easement. 133 ft Buildable area 51 ft The width of the easement is f. The width of the easement isft. Math 1314 Spring 2016 West Loop Fni 6-9pm ds some data to Mozls so that we can improve your experience

Solution

Length of outer land = 133+x+x = 133+2x

width of outer land = 51 +x+x = 51 +2x

Total perimeter : 2(133+2x)+ 2(51+2x) = 456

266+4x +102 +4x = 456

368 +8x = 456

x = 88/8 = 11 ft is the width of easement
