The length of a rectangular sports field is three times its width if the perimeter of the field is 880 meters what is the area of the sports field

Let us assume the width of the rectangular sports field = x meters Then The length of the rectangular sports field is = 3x Perimeter of the rectangular sports field = 880 meters Then Perimeter of the rectangular field = 2(Length + Width) 880 = 2(x +3x) 880 = 2 * 4x 880 = 8x x = 880/8   = 110 meters So Width of the rectangular field = 110 meters Length of the rectangular field = 3x                                                  = 3 * 110 meters                                                  = 330 meters Now Area of the rectangular field = Length * Width                                              = 110 * 330 square meters                                              = 36300 square meters. So the area of the rectangular field comes out to be equal to 36300 square meters.
