A certain field is rectangle with a perimeter of 888 feet. The length is 200 feet more than the width. Find the width and length of the rectangular field.
Let's assume the width of the rectangle is x feet. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is (x + 200) feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula: 2*(length + width). So, the perimeter of this rectangle is 2*((x + 200) + x) = 888.
Simplifying the equation, we get 2*(2x + 200) = 888.
Distributing the 2, we get 4x + 400 = 888.
Subtracting 400 from both sides of the equation, we get 4x = 488.
Dividing both sides by 4, we get x = 122.
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is x = 122 feet, and the length is x + 200 = 322 feet.
