Question

The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 460 yards. The length of the field is 5 yards less than quadruple the width. What are the dimensions of the playing field?

Answer 1

multiply 460 by 5

Explanation:

460 * 5 = 2,300

Answer 2

Answer: The length = 185

and the Width = 45

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given as 2( L + B) , that is

2(L+B) = 460

divide through by 2

L + B = 230

Also ,from the second statement

L - 5 = 4B , that is

L - 4B = 5

Combining the two equations and solving simultaneously , we have

L = 185 and B = 45
