The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.

<h3>How to find the length of a line segment?</h3>

In Δ SRQ as seen in the attached image, we see that;

∠SRQ is a right angle

SQ is the hypotenuse

RT ⊥ SQ

Thus, by triangular rules, we know that;

(RQ)² = TQ × SQ

RQ = 20 units and TQ = 16 units

Thus;

(20)² = 16 × SQ

400 = 16 × SQ

SQ = 400/16

SQ = 25 units

By using Pythagoras theorem in Δ SRQ, we have;

(SR)² + (RQ)² = (SQ)²

RQ = 20 units and SQ = 25 units

Thus;

(SR)² + (20)² = (25)²

(SR)² + 400 = 625

(SR)² = 225

SR = √225

SR = 15 units

The length of the line segment SR is 15 units.

W=2L

P=300=2(L+W)
so

300=2(L+W)
divide by 2
150=L+W

W=2L
subsitute

150=L+2L
150=3L
divide by 3
50=L
sub back

W=2L
W=2(50)
W=100

the field is 100yd wide by 50yd long
