Question

A football field is 1000 yards long.Each if the two end zones adds an extra 10 yards . The field is 160 feet wide . What is the area of the whole field ?

Answer 1

First, you just add 1000 yards to two 10 yards, I’m pretty sure. So then you get 1020. Then you multiply 1020 by 160 feet to get an area of 163,200 square feet.

Answer 2

The area of the whole field is 54400yd^2

Explanation:

says that I add 10 yards in each zone, that means that 10 yards is added twice at 1000 yards

1000yd + 2*10yd = 1020yd

we have to know that one yard equals 3 feet

so to have the length in feet we only multiply it by 3

1020 * 3 = 3060ft

Now that we know the length and width of the court, we can calculate the area by multiplying them

a = b * h

a = 3060ft * 160ft

a = 489600 ft^2

the result is in square feet

if we want it in square yards we just have to divide 2 times by 3

489600/(3*3) = 54400yd^2
