Answer:
12 ÷ 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is 6000 yd2
LW = 6000
field must be 40 yards longer than its width
L = W + 40
Replace L with W+40 in 1st equation to solve for Width
(W+40)(W) = 6000
W2 + 40W - 6000 = 0
This is a quadratic but is factorable
Factors of -6000 that add to 40 are (100)(-60)
(W+100)(W-60) = 0
W = -100 or W = 60
Since the width will not be negative discard -100
The width is 60 yards
Length is W+40 = 100 yards
Answer:
792 m
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2b
⇒ perimeter of ground = (2 x 42) + (2 x 24) = 132 m
Perimeter = 1 round
⇒ 6 rounds = 6 x 132 = 792 m
