Question

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 368 yards. If the width of the field is 87 yards, what is it’s length

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the rectangle would be 97 yards.

Explanation:

87 multiplied by 2 would be 174.

Subtract 174 from 368 to get 194.

194 divided by two equals 97.

To check,

97 plus 97 equals 194.

87 plus 87 equals 174.

174 plus 194 equals 368, the perimeter.

Answer 2

this length of the rectangular field is 97 yards because if you double the length and double the width and add them up you get the perimeter (368)
