Question

a field has a rectangular shape and measures 725 ft along one side and 975 ft along the other side what is the perimeter of the field?

Answer 1

The perimeter of a rectangle is computed as follows:

$P=2(l+w)$

where l is the length and w is the width of the rectangle

Substituting with l = 725 ft, and w = 975 ft, we get:

$\begin{gathered} P=2(725+975) \\ P=2\cdot1700 \\ P=3400\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$
