\boxed {\text {Perimeter = Length + Length + Width + Width}}

Given that Length = 92 and Perimeter = 346:

346 = 92 + 92 + Width + Width

Combine like terms:

346 = 162 + 2Width

Subtract 162 from both sides:

2Width = 162

Divide both sides by 2:

Width = 81

Answer: Width = 81 yards

the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is

P= 2(L+W)

with L representing length and W representing width

since we have the perimeter and the length, we can plug the values into the equation to find W

346 = 2(92+w)

346 = 184 + 2W

162 = 2W

81 = W

the width of the field is 81 yards.

hope this helped!
