Answer 1

Answer:

width is 27 yards and length is 123 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(L + W).

If length is 96 more than width, then we know L = 96 + W

Since we also know the perimeter, we can put them into an equation and solve for the length and width:

2(L + W) = P

2(96 + W + W) = 300

96 + 2W = 150

2W = 54

W = 27

Plug this back into L = 96 + W to find the length:

L = 96 + W

L = 96 + 27

L = 123

Therefore, the width is 27 yards and length is 123 yards.
