there are 2 aircraft carriers , A&B, and carrier a is longer in length than carrier B. The total length of these 2 carriers is 4,198 ft, while the differences of their lengths is only 10ft. Find the length of each carrier

Respuesta :

Sum and difference problem.

Longer carrier = (sum+difference)/2 = (4198+10)/2 = 2104 ft
Shorter carrier = (sum-difference)/2 = (4198-10)/2 = 2094 ft.
