Problema Solution
the perimeter of a football field is 1040 feet. The length of the field is 120 feet less than 3 times the width. what are the dimensions of the football field?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'w' represent the width of the field in feet, then '3w-120' represents its length
perimeter = 2(length + width)
1040 = 2(w + 3w-120)
solving for 'w' we have w=160
3*160 - 120 = 360
the width of the field is 160 ft, its length is 360 ft
