3a. The width of the field is 480 yards


3b. The length of the field is 360 feet.


3c. The width of the field is 160 feet.


3d. The area of the field is 6,400 square yards.

Answer 1

Answer:

3a.False,the width is 53.33 yards

3b.true, the Length is 120 yards=360 feet

3c.True, width of the field is 160 feet.

3d. True,rea of the field is 6,400 square yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello , I think I can help you with this

to solve this you must know the equivalence between feet and yard, which is

3 feet = 1 yard

Also, the area of  a rectangle is the product of its length by its width

Area=length *width

Step 1

convert 120 yards into feet using a rule of three

3 feet = 1 yard

x feet= 120 yards

3/1=x/120

x=(120*3)/1

x=360 feet

so

120 yards= 360 feet

Step 2

isolate the width from the area´s equation to find out it.

Area=57600 square feet

length=360 feet

Area=length *width

width=Area/length

Width=57600 square feet/360 feet

Width=160 feet

Step 3

convert 160 feet into yards

1 yard= 3 feet

x yard= 160 feet

1/3=x/160

x=(1*160)/3

x=53.33 yards

width=53.33 yards

the area is (square yards)

Area=120 yards*53.33 yards

Area=6400 square yards

Step 4

Answer the questions.

3a.False,the width is 53.33 yards

3b.true, the Length is 120 yards=360 feet

3c.True, width of the field is 160 feet.

3d. True,rea of the field is 6,400 square yards.

Have a nice day.
