The length of a new rectangular playing field is 9 yards longer than double the width. If the perimeter of the rectangular playing field is 336 yards, what are the dimensions

Respuesta :

Answer:

Dimension of rectangular playing filed is 53 yards by 115 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of rectangular playing filed is 9 yards more than double the width.

Let us suppose width of rectangular field = x yard

Width (w)= x yards

Length (l)= 2x+9

Perimeter of Rectangular field = 2(l+w)

We are given perimeter of rectangular playing filed = 336 yards

2(2x+9+x)=336

Now we solve for x

3x+9=168

3x=159

x=53 yards

Width = 53 yards

Length = 2(53)+9 = 115 yards  

Thus, Dimension of rectangular playing filed is 53 yard by 115 yards

You can use the given description to form a symbolic expression for length and width. The given parameter will then help you to get the value of unknown measures.

The dimensions of the given rectangle are

Length = 112 yards

Width = 56 yards

How to get the unknown dimensions of a rectangle from given parameter?

Since we are given length in terms of its width, thus, lets suppose that

width = [tex]x[/tex] yards.

Then, we have:

Length = double of width = [tex]2x[/tex] yards

The perimeter of a rectangle =  [tex]\rm 2(length + width) = 336 \: yards[/tex] (given)

(remember that many times, when using letters or symbols, we hide multiplication and write two things which are multiplied, close to each other. As in [tex]2 \times x = 2x[/tex] )

Using above values for length and width in perimeter, we get

[tex]\rm 2(length + width) = 336\: yards\\2(x + 2x) = 336\\2(3x) = 336\\6x = 336\\\\\text{Dividing both the sides by 6}\\\\\dfrac{6x}{6} = \dfrac{336}{6}\\\\x = 56 \: yards = width\\[/tex]

Thus, length is double of width = 2 times 56 = 112 yards.

Thus,

The dimensions of the given rectangle are

Length = 112 yards

Width = 56 yards
