The numbers on a football field indicate 10 yard increments. You walk around the perimeter of a football field between the pylons. You walk a distance of 306 2/3 yards.
Find the area and perimeter of the indicated regions. Write your answers as mixed numbers, if necessary.
no indicated regions
To find the area and perimeter of the indicated regions on the football field, we need to understand the dimensions of the field.
A standard American football field is 120 yards long and 53.3 yards wide. It is divided into various regions, including the end zones, sidelines, and playing field.
Based on the information given, you walked a distance of 306 2/3 yards around the perimeter of the football field between the pylons. This suggests that you walked around the playing field, excluding the end zones.
To calculate the perimeter of the playing field, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides. Since the width of the field is not provided, we are assuming that you walked around the narrow side of the field (53.3 yards).
Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * Width
Given:
Length of the field (excluding the end zones) = 120 yards
Width of the field = 53.3 yards
Perimeter = 2 * 120 + 2 * 53.3
Perimeter = 240 + 106.6
Perimeter = 346.6 yards
Therefore, the perimeter of the indicated region is 346 3/5 yards.
To calculate the area of the playing field, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 120 * 53.3
Area = 6,396 square yards
Therefore, the area of the indicated region is 6,396 square yards.
