Question

The width of a soccer field should be 60% of its length. Write and simplify an expression for the perimeter of a soccer field with a length of x feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

here you go

Step-by-step explanation:

W = (0.6) L

       P = 2  (  L + W  )

       P = 2  [  L + (0.6) L  ]

       P = 2  ( 1.6 L  )

       P = (3.2) L  

       P = (3.2) x

Answer 2

The perimeter of the soccer field with the length of $x$ feet is equal to

$3.2x$ feet.

What is the perimeter?

" Perimeter is defined as the total length around the given geometrical shape."

Formula used

Perimeter of the soccer field $= 2 ( L + W)$

$L=$ length of the soccer field

$W =$ width of the soccer field

According to the question,

Given,

$'x'$ represents the length of the soccer field

As per the given condition,

Width = $60\%$ of length

          $= \frac{60}{100} \times x\\\\= 0.6x$

Substitute the value in the formula to get the perimeter,

Perimeter of the soccer field $= 2 ( x+ 0.6x)$

                                                 $= 2(1.6x)\\\\= (3.2x) feet$

Hence, the perimeter of the soccer field with the length of $x$ feet is equal to $3.2x$ feet.
