Question

Leonel has a soccer game on a rectangular field, which is 15 meters wide and 40 meters long. Marcos wants to know what is the perimeter of the court?​​

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangular field is the sum of all its sides. To find the perimeter of a rectangle you have to add twice the width to twice the length.
The perimeter of the rectangular field would be: 2 * 15 + 2 * 40 = 30 + 80 = 110 meters

Answer 2

`\therefore` Leonel will play on his soccer field with a perimeter of 110 m.

Step by step explanation:

Data to then substitute into the equation:

• Let "a" = 15 meters wide
• Let "b" = 40 meters long

Before starting to solve, I will show you the formula for the perimeter of the rectangle:

`\bold{ \: P= 2(a) + 2(b)}`

We substitute equation:

`\bf \: P = 2(15) + 2(40)`

We multiply:

`\bf \: P= 15 * 2 = 30`

`\bf \: P= 40 * 2 = 80`

We add both resultants to obtain the perimeter:

`\bf \: P= 80 + 30`

`\large\boxed{ \bf \:P = 110 \: m}`

Rpt: Leonel will play on his soccer field with a perimeter of 110 m.
