John has a rectangular-shaped field whose length is 62.5 yards and width is 45.3 yards. The area of the field is ________ square yards. The perimeter of the field is _______ yards.

Respuesta :

Area = 2831.25 square yards

Perimeter =215.6 yards

EXPLANATION

The area and perimeter of a rectangular field are found using the formula for finding the area and perimeter of a rectangle respectively.

That means, area of the rectangular field is given by the formula,

[tex]A= l\times w[/tex]

We just have to substitute
[tex]l=62.5[/tex] and [tex]w= 45.3[/tex] into the given formula and evaluate.

This implies that;

[tex]A= 62.5\times 45.3[/tex]

This gives the area of the rectangular-shaped field to be;

[tex]A= 2831.25[/tex] square yards.

Now for the perimeter, we use the formula

[tex]P=2w +2l[/tex]

Or

[tex]P=2(w +l)[/tex]

Substituting the values for the length and width gives,

[tex]P=2(62.5+45.3)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=2(107.8)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow P=215.6[/tex]

Hence the perimeter of the rectangular shaped field is 215.6 yards.
