Question

A rectangular field is 348 inches long and 7 yards wide. What is the perimeter of the field in feet?

A. 100 feet
B. 62.6 feet
C. 50 feet
D. 31.3

Answer 1

A. Perimeter = 100 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll need to convert the units to make them compatible. Since the answer options are all in feet, lets convert both yards and inches to feet.

Conversion Factors:

(1 ft/12 in), and (3 ft/yard)

(348 in)*(1 ft/12 in) = 29 feet in length, L

(7 yards)*(3 ft/yard) = 21 feet in width, W.

Perimeter is 2*L + 2*W

Perimeter = 2*(29ft) + 2*(21ft)

Perimeter = 58 ft + 42 ft

Perimeter = 100 feet

Answer 2

The perimeter of the rectangular field is 100 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of a rectangular field, we need to add up all the sides of the field. In this case, the length of the field is given as 348 inches and the width is given as 7 yards. To convert the width from yards to inches, we need to multiply it by 36 (since 1 yard is equal to 36 inches). So, the width of the field in inches is 252 inches (7 yards * 36 inches per yard). Now, we can calculate the perimeter by adding up all the sides: 348 inches + 252 inches + 348 inches + 252 inches = 1200 inches. To convert this to feet, we divide by 12 (since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches). So, the perimeter of the field in feet is 100 feet.
