Question

Please Help!

The playing field for a particular sport is a rectangle whose length is 2 more than twice the width. The perimeter of the playing field is 274 feet. Find the dimensions of the playing field.
What is the width?
What is the length?

Answer 1

Let length = L and width = W

Based from the question, we have:

L = 2W + 2

2(L + W) = 274

Substitute L from first equation to second equation

2((2W + 2) + W) = 274

W = 45 feet

L = 2W + 2 = 2(45) + 2 = 92 feet

Answer 2

2+x square =274

Explanation:

you plug in the numbers you have and make the equation and solve for x

note:

when ever you get x square =# this is you width.

to get the length you square root the number after subtracting 2 from both sides to get the length because it says twice.
