Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 328 yards. If the width of the field is 73 yards, what is its length?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is given by P=2L+2W

P=328

W=73

YOU CAN PLUG IN THE GIVEN VALUES IN THE ORIGINAL EQUATION TO GET L

328=2L+2(73)

328=2L+146

2L=328-146

2L=182

`(2l)/(2) = (182)/(2) \\ l = 91`

The length is 91
