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.
