Answer:
length = 95 yards
width = 51 yards
Explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w
where
l is the length
w is the width
From the question
Perimeter = 292 yards
The statement
The length of the field is 7 yards less than double the width is written as
l = 2w - 7
Substitute the expression into the above formula and solve for the width
292 = 2( 2w - 7) + 2w
292 = 4w - 14 + 2w
292 = 6w - 14
6w = 292 + 14
6w = 306
Divide both sides by 6
w = 51
Substitute this value into l = 2w - 7
That's
l = 2(51) - 7
l = 102 - 7
l = 95
Therefore we have
length = 95 yards
width = 51 yards
Hope this helps you
