<span>A rectangular soccer field is twice as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the soccer field is 300 yards , what are its dimensions? I know the basic formula is 2W+2L=300 but i am not sure where to go from there... ----- Equations: 2W + 2L = 300 L = 2W ---- Substitute for "L" and solve for "W": </span><span>2W + 2(2W) = 300 6W = 300 W = 50 yds (width) ---- Solve for "L": L = 2W L = 100 yds (length) ======================== Cheers. </span>
