Problema Solution

The length of a new rectangular playing field is 7 yards longer than double the width. If the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 368 yards, what are its dimensions?

Answer provided by our tutors

width= x

lenght= 2x+7 

so, perimeter= 2(length + width)

368 = 2(2x+7+x)

184= 3x+7

so, 177=3x

x= 59 yards

so, length= 125 yards

and width= 59 yards.
