The perimeter of a rectangular field is 330 yards. If the width of the field is 72 yards, what is its length?
The perimeter of a rectangular field is 330 yards.
If the width of the field is 72 yards, what is its length?
The perimeter is the Length + Width + Length + Width.
You can also express this as 2L + 2W.
So, P = 2L + 2W
330 = (2)(L) + (2)(72)
330 = 2L + 144
330 – 144 = 2L
2L = 186
L = 93
