Question

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 190 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 43 ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions

Answer 1

2(L+w) = 190ft (Perimeter)

L + W = 95ft (190 divided by 2)

L = W + 43ft (Given)

W + 43 + W = 95ft

2W + 43 = 95ft

2W = 52ft

W = 26ft

L = 26ft + 43 = 69ft

Answer: The feild is 69ft by 26ft

Hope this helps!!!
