The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 214 ft. The field is a rectangle, and the length is 41 ft longer than the width . Find the dimensions.

width: 33 ft

length: 74 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding all of the sides together which includes two lengths and two widths. Since the formula for the length is given (l = 41ft + w) and the perimeter is given, then we can simply use the perimeter formula and substitute the value of length with its formula which would only leave us with one variable in the equation w. Now we must solve for w.

l + l + w + w = 214

(41 + w) + (41 +w) + w + w = 214  ... combine like terms

82 + 4w = 214  ... subtract 82 from both sides

4w = 132 ... divide both sides by 4

w = 33 ft

Finally, we can see that the value of the width is 33 ft . Now we plug this value into the formula for length to calculate its value.

l = 41 + w

l = 41 + 33

l = 74 ft

answer: the answer is 30 miles per hour.

ft/s -> mphmph = ft/s 1.466667mph = 44 divided by 1.466667mph = 30.00000
