Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(L+W)
L is the length of the rectangle:
W is the width of the rectangle.
Given
Perimeter = 214feet
If the length is 41 ft longer than the width, then L = 41+W
Substitute L = 41+W into the formula:
P = 2(L+W)
214 = 2(41+W+W)
214 = 2(41+2W)
214 = 82+4W
4W = 214-82
4W = 132
W = 132/4
W = 33 feet
Since L = 41+W
L = 41+33
L = 74 feet
Hence the dimension of the field is 74ft by 33ft
The width of the playing field is 33feet
