A football field is rectangular with a perimeter of 1040 feet. the length is 200 feet more than the width. Find the length and the width of the field. (hint: p=2l+2w)
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width be \"w\".
\n" ); document.write( "Then the length is \"w+200\"
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(l+w)
\n" ); document.write( "1040 = 2(w+200 + w)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "520 = 2w+200
\n" ); document.write( "2w = 320
\n" ); document.write( "w = 160 (width)
\n" ); document.write( "l = w+200 = 360 (length)
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
