Question

Write an expression to find the difference in the maximum area and minimum area of a nys high school soccer field. Then evaluate the expression.
Max length 100yards
Max length 120 yards
Minimum width 55 yards
Maximum width 80 yards

Answer 1

The maximum area of the school soccer field is given by the maximum length times the maximum width.

Thus maximum area = 120 x 80 = 9,600 square yards.

The minimum area of the school soccer field is given by the minimum length times the minimum width.

Thus maximum area = 100 x 55 = 5,500 square yards.

Therefore, the difference between the maximum area and the minimum area is 9,600 - 5,500 = 4,100 square yards.
