The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*L+2*W. Knowing that length is 99, we do 2*99 to get 198.Do 374-198, which is 176, we know that that is twice the length of the width. Therefore the width is 176/2, which is 88.
What is important in this problem is the equation for Perimeter Perimeter = 2Length + 2Width So 99 = length (l) 374 = 2(99) + 2(w) 374 = 198 + 2w Subtract 176 = 2w Divide both sides by 2 88 = w The Width is 88 yards
