Algebra.Com's Answer #630987 by addingup(3677)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Perimeter of a certain playing field is 222ft the field is a rectangle, and the length is 49 ft longer then the width. Find the dimensions \n" ); document.write( "2l+2w = 222 Your problem says that l= w+49, so substitute: \n" ); document.write( "2(w+49)+2w = 222 \n" ); document.write( "2w+98+2w= 222 Add w on left and subtract 98 on both sides: \n" ); document.write( "4w= 124 Divide both sides by 4: \n" ); document.write( "w= 31 and the length: \n" ); document.write( "31+49= 80 \n" ); document.write( " |
