The length and width of a new rectangle playing field are 214 yards and 52 yards respectively.

<h3>What is the area of the rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

We have:

The length of a new rectangle playing field is 6 yards longer than quadruple the width.

Let's suppose the length is l and width is w of a rectangle:

From the problem:

l = 6 + 4w

Perimeter P = 2(l + w)

532 = 2(l + w)

Plug l = 6+4w in the above equation:

532 = 2(6 + 4w + w)

266 = 6 + 5w

260 = 5w

w = 52 yards

l = 6 +4(52) = 214 yards

Thus, the length and width of a new rectangle playing field are 214 yards and 52 yards respectively.
