the perimeter of a football field is 204cm find the length of the field if it's breadth is 24cm
TEACHER
Unless you have a model of a football field, you must have meant 204 m, with a breadth of 24 m
2L + 2(24)= 204
solve for L
To find the length of the football field, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle: P = 2(l + b), where P is the perimeter, l is the length, and b is the breadth.
The given information states that the perimeter of the football field is 204 cm and the breadth is 24 cm. Substituting these values into the formula, we have:
204 = 2(l + 24)
To solve for the length, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. To do this, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2:
204/2 = (l + 24)/2
Simplifying, we get:
102 = l + 24
Next, we can subtract 24 from both sides of the equation to isolate the length:
102 - 24 = l
Simplifying further, we find:
l = 78
Therefore, the length of the football field is 78 cm.
