Answer: the length is 87 feet

The width is 40 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the playing field.

Let W represent the width of the playing field.

The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that

254 = 2(L + W)

L + W = 254/2

L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that

L = W + 47

Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes

W + 47 + W = 127

2W + 47 = 127

2W = 127 - 47 = 80

W = 80/2 = 40

L = W + 47 = 40 + 47

L = 87

Answer:

First of all, rectangles and rectangular prisms have one foremost difference, which is their dimensions. A rectangle has two dimensions whilst a rectangular prism has three. Those dimensions include width, length, and height- but a rectangle has only width and length. Although, in comparison, they're both made from the same quadrilateral: rectangles. A "2D" rectangle has one, while a "3D" rectangle, or rectangular prism, is made of six. The rectangles that make up a rectangular prism can also be referred to as faces.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

c=9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step by step:

  1. add 6 on both sides
  2. divide 1.5 from the product of 6 and 7.5 (aka 13.5)
  3. you will get C
  4. put 9 in for C.
<h2>1.5c-6=7.5</h2>

1. 1.5c-6+6=7.5+6

1.5 1.5c=13.5

2.\frac{1.5c}{1.5c}=\frac{13.5}{1.5c}

3. C=9

1.5(9)-6=7.5

13.5-6=7.5
