A football pitch is 95m by 65m. A white line is marked out around the whole perimeter of the pitch. How long is the white line?
P = 2L + 2W
P = (2 * 95) + (2 * 65)
P = _______ m
320m
thank you
You're welcome.
To find the length of the white line marked around the perimeter of the football pitch, we need to calculate the sum of all the sides.
The football pitch is mentioned to be 95m by 65m. The length of the perimeter can be calculated by adding up the lengths of all four sides.
The two shorter sides, which represent the width of the pitch, are each 65m long. So, the combined length of both shorter sides is 65m + 65m = 130m.
The two longer sides, which represent the length of the pitch, are each 95m long. So, the combined length of both longer sides is 95m + 95m = 190m.
To find the length of the white line around the perimeter, we add all four sides together: 130m + 130m + 190m + 190m = 640m.
Therefore, the length of the white line marked around the whole perimeter of the pitch is 640 meters.
