The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. The length is 47 ft longer than the width. Find the dimensions.

the length is 87 feet

The width is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the playing field.

Let W represent the width of the playing field.

The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that

254 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 254/2

L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that

L = W + 47

Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 47 + W = 127

2W + 47 = 127

2W = 127 - 47 = 80

W = 80/2 = 40

L = W + 47 = 40 + 47

L = 87

choice b is correct
