The smaller od the two sides is ___yd.
The larger od the two sides is ____yd.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the width of the field
l = the length of the field
the perimeter of a rectangular field is 360 yd
w + l = 360
the length is 80 yd longer than the width
l = 80 + w
by solving the system of equations
w + l = 360
l = 80 + w

we find
l = 220 yd
w = 140 yd
The smaller od the two sides is 140 yd.
The larger od the two sides is 220 yd.
