Known :

Perimeter = 160 ft

length = 50 ft

Asked :

Area = ...?

Answer :

Find the width first :

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

160 = 2 (50 + width)

width = (160 ÷ 2) - 50

width = 80 - 50

width = 30 ft

Now, let's find the Area :

Area = length × width

= 50 × 30

= 1.500 ft²

So, the area of the playground is 1.500 ft²

Hope it helpful and useful :)
