Problema Solution
the length of a new rectangular playing field is 2 yards longer than double the width. if the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 304 yards, what are its dimensions?
Answer provided by our tutors
perimeter = 2*width + 2*length
let 'x' represent the width, then 'x+2' represents the length
304=2x+2(x+2)
x=75
75+2=77
The rectangular playing field is 75 yards by 77 yards.
