A rectangular field is five times as long as it is wide. If the perimeter of the field is 240 yards, what are the field's dimensions?

Width = 20 yards, length = 100 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the field be x yards wide then it's length is 5x yards.

so x + x + 5x + 5x = 240

12x = 240

x = 20.

width = 20, length = 100 yards.

Width = 20yards

Length = 100 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

The field is 5 times as long as it's widths ...

Let's represent the width be with "w"

The length will then become * 5 * w*

The perimeter of the Rectangular field then becomes:

Perimeter (P) = 2 (w + l)

P = 2 (w + 5w)

But P = 240

240 = 2w + 10w

240 = 12w

Divide through by 12

w = 240/12

w = 20 yards

That is, the width = 20yards

The length is 5 times the width

Length = 5*w

Length = 5*20

Length = 100 yards

Width = 20yards

Length = 100 yards
