Question

A field is measured as 125 yds by 58.25 yds. Using correct significant digits, find the perimeter and area.

Answer 1

You multiply 125 by 58.25

125x58.25

7,821.25 yards squared is your answer

Answer 2

Hi there! A field is a rectangle and there are four sides total, so you multiply the length by 2 and the width by 2. You multiply the length times width to find the area. If you do this correctly, here are the answers you should get.

Perimeter: 366.5 yards
Area: 7,281.25 square yards
