Algebra.Com's Answer #572610 by laoman(51)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the length of the field be l and its width be w \n" ); document.write( "From the first statement, \n" ); document.write( " Perimeter of the field is 334 yards \n" ); document.write( "And perimeter of rectangle = 2*l +2*w = 334\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now substituting for l, \n" ); document.write( "4*w+10+2*w = 334 \n" ); document.write( "6*w = 334-10 \n" ); document.write( "6*w = 324, \n" ); document.write( "w = 324/6 = 54 \n" ); document.write( "Also, l=2*w + 5= 2*54+5= 113 \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the dimensions are (l,b) = (113,54) \n" ); document.write( " |
