A rectangular field is four times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 410 yards, what are the​ field's dimensions?

Answer :

The length of the rectangular field is 164 yards and the width is 41 yards

From the question,

We are to determine the fields dimensions

From the given information

A rectangular field is four times as long as it is wide

That is

l = 4w -------- (1)

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l + w)

Where

P is the perimeter

l is the length

and w is the width

From the given information

The perimeter of the field is 410 yards

∴ 2(l + w) = 410 ------ (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

2(4w + w) = 410

2(5w) = 410

10w = 410

∴  w = 410 ÷ 10

w = 41 yards

Substitute the value of w into equation (1)

l = 4(41)

l = 164 yards

Hence, the length of the rectangular field is 164 yards and the width is 41 yards.
