A soccer field has a perimeter of 26 yards.if the width is 8 yards,how long is the length?
8+8 + x+x = 26
2 x = 10
x = 5
but you have a typo no doubt
I bet the perimeter is 260 yards.
P = 2L + 2W
26 = 2L + 16
10 = 2L
? = L
To find the length of the soccer field, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Given that the perimeter is 26 yards and the width is 8 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:
26 = 2(length + 8)
To solve for the length, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's start by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
26/2 = (2(length + 8))/2
This simplifies to:
13 = length + 8
Now, let's isolate the length by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
13 - 8 = length + 8 - 8
This simplifies to:
5 = length
Therefore, the length of the soccer field is 5 yards.
