Answer:
Length = 300 yards
Width = 60 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width of the rectangular field be 'x' yards.
Length = 5 times of x
= 5x
Perimeter of rectangular field = 2length + 2width
2 * 5x + 2*x = 720
10x + 2x = 720
Combine like terms,
12x = 720
Divide both sides by 12,
x = 720 ÷ 12
[tex]\boxed{\bf x = 60 \ yards}\\[/tex]
Width = 60 yards
Length = 5 *x
= 5 * 60
= 300 yards
Length = 300 yards
Width = 60 yards
