A rectangular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide if the perimeter of the athletic field is 150 yards what are the dimensions? What is the width in yards?

Answer 1

Meghan

Suppose the perimeter was 180.

Suppose w = width.

Then l = length = 2w

Perimeter = distance around outside = l + w + l + w = 2w + w + 2w + w = 6w

6w = 180

w = 30. So l = 60.

Now you can use my model, with your number
