Answer: width = 60 yd

and Length= 110 yd

Explanation:

Step 1

Perimeter of rectangle field is given as 2 ( L+ b)

Let the width be represented as x

'and length which is 50 yd longer than the width be

=x+ 50

such that the Perimeter with 340 yd can be expressed as

Perimeter = 2 ( L+ b) = 2L + 2B

Step 2---Solving

Perimeter = 2L + 2B

340 = 2(X+ 50) + (2 x)

340 = 2X+ 100 + 2X

340=4X + 100

340-100=4X

240= 4X

X= 240/4

X= 60

Width = x = 60 yards

;Length = 50 + x= 50 + 60 = 110yards
