A rectangular field is eleven times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 1560 feet, find the length and width of the field?

Question

I have to find the lenght and the width

Answer 1

If w is the width, then 11w is the length. Since the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length+width), then

2(11w+w)=1560 -> 2(12w)=1560 -> 24w=1560 -> w=65 So the field is 715x65 feet
