The baseball team is running laps along the fence around a rectangular field. They know that one lap around the field is 986ft. The width of the field is 248ft. What is the length of the field that they are running around?
This is perimeter so we take the 248 and multiply it by 2 to get 496. than subtract 496 from 986. 986-496=490 so divide that number by 2 to get 245. 245 is the length of the feild
