Alex - 02.02.2016 14:46You already know that the width of the yard is 7 and the area is 85. The area is the length times the width. So the length*7=85. Divide by 7 on each side and you get the length to be 15 yards. Now to find the perimeter you find the sum of two times the width and two times the length. 2(7)+2(15)=14+30=44 So the perimeter is 44 yards. Hope this helps.
