Answer:

83 yards

Explanation:

We are given;

  • Perimeter of rectangle is 294 yards
  • Width is 64 yards

We are required to determine the length;

  • we need to know how to get the perimeter of the rectangle;
  • Perimeter = 2( length + width)

That is;

P = 2 (L + W)

P = 2L + 2W

Rearranging the formula;

2L = P - 2W

Therefore;

2L = 294 yards - 2 (64 yards)

= 294 - 128

= 166

L = 166 ÷ 2

= 83 yards

Thus, the length of the rectangle is 83 yards.
