Question

The length of a football field is 67 yards greater than the width. The perimeter of the field is 346 yards. Find the length and width of the football field.

Answer 1

Lenght times Width easy as that

Answer 2

how do i find the width?

Answer 3

width is 53 and length is 120

Answer 4

so i would take the 346 and divide by 67 and that would give me the length?

Answer 5

no i will show you to width

Answer 6

We are given that L = 67+W and P = 346.

Knowing that P = 2L + 2W, we can replace L to (67 + W) and P to 346, like this:

P = 2L + 2W
346 = 2(67+W) + 2W

Can you find W?

Answer 7

take the 53 and add 67 and that would make it 120?

Answer 8

yes! i see it! :D

Answer 9

Where did you get 53?

Answer 10

let width is x ok

Answer 11

therfor length is x+67

Answer 12

as we know perimeter = 2(l+b)

Answer 13

put values of length and width here

Answer 14

so 2(x+67) +2x

Answer 15

=346

Answer 16

yes

Answer 17

346= 2(x+x+67)
346=4x+134

Answer 18

then solve for x.

Answer 19

so the length is 134 and the width is 53. because when i solved for x i got 53

Answer 20

346-134=4x
212=4x
212/4=x
53=x

Answer 21

i tried to check my answer with 2L+2W and i got 374 though?

Answer 22

recheak

Answer 23

134 x 2=268
53 x 2= 106
106+268=374

Answer 24

53+67 = 120 not 134

Answer 25

oh x) i had to go back and look at the work i see it now
120 x 2=240
53 x 2=106
240+106=346
