Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$10a-25+5b\\\\-2(-5a-25+5b)=(-2)(-5a)+(-2)(-25)+(-2)(5b)\\=10a+50-10b\qquad NOT\\\\(2a-5+b)(5)=(2a)(5)+(-5)(5)+(b)(5)=10a-25+5b\qquad YES\\\\10(a-2.5+0.5b)=(10)(a)+(10)(-2.5)+(10)(0.5b)\\=10a-25+5b\qquad YES\\\\(-2a+5-b)(-5)=(-2a)(-5)+(5)(-5)+(-b)(-5)\\=10a-25+5b\qquad YES\\\\-10(-a-2.5-0.5b)=(-10)(-a)+(-10)(-2.5)+(-10)(-0.5b)\\=10a+25+5b\qquad NOT$

To solve this you would make a triangle, Assuming you had a piece of paper.

It would look like the picture included (where ever that is) sorry for the horrible drawing with mouse.

You can then you Pythagorean Theorem to solve this

$a^{2} + b^2 =c^2$

width will be (a)

put in your variables

$a^2 + 72^2 = 90^2$
$a^2 + 5184 = 8100$

Subtract 5184 over and get
$a^2 = 2916$

square root both sides and get
a=54

the field is 54 meters wide
