Question 314657
Hey, 

So for this one, we simply need to write what we know down:

for the perimeter:

2L + 2W = 52 yards

for the info:

L = W + 6

We can substitute L in the equation for W + 6:

2(W+6) + 2W =52 

2W + 12 + 2W =52

4W + 12 = 52

4W = 40

W = 10

then we subsitute W into the original equation:

L = 10 + 6

L = 16

Area is length multiplied by width:

A=L*W

Therefore:

A= 16*10   =>   160 yards^2


I hope this helps!
