A rectangular field is four times as long as it is wide if the perimeter of the field is 420 yards what are the fields dimensions

Respuesta :

Answer:

168yards by 42yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter =2(l+b)

Perimeter =420yards

length=4×breadth

l=4b

P=2(l+b)

P=2(4b+b)

P=2(5b)

P=10b

420=10b

b=420/10

b=42yards

l=4b=4×42yards

l=168yards

hence the dimensions are 168yards by 42yards
