Answer:

432 feet

Explanation:

The total length of line he will draw is equivalent to the perimeter of the plane shape he is drawing. Given that it is a soccer field measured as 96 feet by 120 feet, the shape is a rectangle.

The perimeter p of a rectangle whose length is l and width is b is given as

p = 2(l+b)

Hence the length of the line he must draw

= 2(96 + 120)

= 2 * 216

= 432 feet
