The width of athletic field is 16 yards and the length of rectangular field is 32 yards.
Given information that a rectangular athletic field is twice as long as it is wide.
Let the width of the athletic field is x yards.
Thus the length of the athletic field is 2x yards.
The formula of perimeter of rectangular field is 2 * (length + width).
The perimeter of the athletic field is 96 yards .
∴ 2 * (length + width) = 96
⇒ (2x + x) = 48
⇒ 3x = 48
∴ x = 16 yards
Length = 2x = 2*16 = 32 yards
Thus the width of the athletic field is 16 yards and the length of the field is 32 yards .
