Question

Football fields are 100 meters from goal line to goal line. If it is 360 meters
around a football field, how wide is the field ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The field is 80 meters wide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length: 100 meters

Perimeter: 360 meters

Width: x

Formula in finding Perimeter: L + L + W + W

100 + 100 + x + x

200 + 2x

Solution:  

200 + 2x = 360

2x = 360 - 200

2x = 160

\frac{2x}{2} =  \frac{160}{2}  

80
