Question

The perimeter of the rectangle playing field is 432 yards the length of the field is 4 yards less than triple the width The perimeter of the rectangle playing field is 432 yards the length of the field is 4 yards less than triple the width. What is the length and width in yards?

Answer 1

160 yards

Explanation:

P=2l+2w

P=2(3w-8)+2(w)

432=2(3w-8)+2(w)

432=6w-16+2w

432=8w-16

432+16=8w

448=8w

w=448/8

w=56yards

l=3(56)-8

l=168-8=160yards
