Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 298 yards. If the width of the field is 63 yards, what is its length?

Answer 1

The length is 86 yards.

Explanation:

63 is the width so,

63 + 63 = 126

Now subtract this from the total perimeter,

298 - 126 = 172

and divide by 2 because there are sides with the same length

172/2 = 86

The length is 86.
