Question

The length of a new rectangular playing field is 4 yards longer than quadruple the width. If the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 558 yards, what are its dimensions?

The width is yards.

Answer 1

55 x 224 yards

w + w + 2 * ( 4 + 4w) = 558 (given)

10 w + 8 =558

w = 55 then L = 4 + 4w = 224 yards
