The first thing you should know is that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by: P = 2L + 2W Where, L: side W: width On the other hand we have that the ratio is: L / W = 5/3 Clearing L we have: L = (5/3) * (W) Substituting in the expression of the perimeter: P = 2 ((5/3) * (W)) + 2W Rewriting: P = (16/3) W The perimeter is 192: 192 = (16/3) W We cleared W: W = (3/16) * (192) W = 36 Finally we substitute W in the expression for L: L = (5/3) * (W) L = (5/3) * (36) L = 60 Answer: The width and length are: W = 36 yards L = 60 yards
