Question

A group of friends is roping off a soccer field in a back yard. A particular full-size soccer field is a rectangle with a length of 100 yards and a width of 50 yards. To fit the field in the back yard, the group needs to reduce the size of the field so its perimeter is 60 yards.

What is the Area of the soccer field in the back yard?

Answer 1

200 ft

The original perimeter would be 300, so divided by 5, it would be 60. 100/5 is 20, 50/5 is 10. 20*10 is 200.
