Question

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer. a soccer field is in the shape of a rectangle that measures about 100 yards long and 60 yards wide. what is the distance around a soccer field?
○ 560 yards
○ 260 yards
○ 160 yards
○ 320 yards

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

The perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is given by the formula \( P = 2\times (length + width) \).

Step2: Identify the length and width

The length of the soccer field (rectangle) is \( 100 \) yards and the width is \( 60 \) yards.

Step3: Substitute the values into the formula

Substitute \( length = 100 \) and \( width = 60 \) into the formula:
\( P = 2\times(100 + 60) \)
First, calculate the sum inside the parentheses: \( 100 + 60 = 160 \)
Then, multiply by 2: \( 2\times160 = 320 \)
So the distance around the soccer field (the perimeter) is 320 yards.

Answer:

B. 320 yards
