The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 304 ft. The length is 50 ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions.
The width of the playing field is
ft.

Answer :

Answer:

Width = 51 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the perimeter formula and add on additional information. Use a variable to form the equation.

P = 2L + 2W

304 = 2(x+50) + 2(x)

Then, simplify the expression.

304 = 2x + 100 + 2x

304 = 4x + 100

204 = 4x

51 = x

This means that the length is 101 ft and the width is 51 ft.

Answer:

P = 2 l + 2 w

304 ft = 2 x 50 ft + 2 w

= 100 ft + 2w

2w = 204 ft

w = 102 ft

ANSWER: width is 102 ft
