The perimeter of a rectangular field is 294 yards. If the length of the field is 85 yards, what is its width?

62 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

total perimeter of the rectangle (four sided shape) = 294

length+length+width+width=perimeter

85 + 85 + w + w = 294

85 + 85 = 170

294 - 170 = 124

124 = w x 2

124 / 2 = w

124 / 2 = 62

62 = w

62 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter=2 (l+w)

Where P=294 and l=85

294=2 (85+w)

294=170+2w

2w=294-170

2w=124

w=124/2

w=62yards
