Question

Direct angular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide if the perimeter of the athletic field is 216 yards what are its dimensions? The width is The length is

Answer 1

For this case we have the following notation:

L = length

W= Width

For this particular case we know that:

L= 2W

The permimeter is given by:

2L + 2W= 216

Replacing we have:

2(2W)+ 2W= 216

6W= 216

W= 43.2 yd

L= 2*43.2= 86.4 yd
