The dimensions of the rectangular base will be 110ft by 330ft the length of the base measures less than 3 times the width

The formula for calculating the perimeter of the rectangular base is expressed as:

P = 2(L +W) where;

L is the length

W is the width

If the length of the base measures less than 3 times the width, then L < 3W

Given that Perimeter = 880feet

Substitute the given value into the formula to get the length

880 = 2(3W+W)

880 = 2(4W)

880 = 8W

W = 880/8

W = 110ft

Since L = 3W

L = 3(110)

L = 330ft

Hence  the dimensions of the base will be 110ft by 330ft
