Question

PLEASE HELP!
The length of a rectangular playing field is 7 yards longer than triple the width. If the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 438 yards, what are it's dimensions in yards?

Answer 1

You get perimeter by adding all the sides, so:
3w+7+3w+7+w+w=438

solve for w

Answer 2

That will be your width, then plug it into 3w+7 to get the length

Answer 3

Thank you so much! You are a lifesaver!

Answer 4

what did you get for width?

Answer 5

I got 53?

Answer 6

Yep so the length is expressed as 3w+7
put 53 in for w and youll get the length

Answer 7

So the length is 166...I got it! Thank you!
