The width of the rectangular section is 20 m which is the length of the section if it is known that the perimeter of the section is 110 m.

The perimeter of a rectangular area is calculated by the formula:

P = 2 x A + 2 x B,

where A is the length of the rectangular section, and B is its width. Let us express the length from this equation:

A = (P – 2 x B) / 2.

Substitute the values and get the answer:

A = (110 – 2 x 20) / 2;

A = 70/2;

A = 35 (m).

Answer: the length of the rectangular section is 35 m.
