The length of the play area is 31 feet and the width is 62 feet.

What is a rectangle?

A rectangle is a 2-dimensional quadrilateral with four right angles. It has two diagonals which bisect each other . The diagonals are equal in length

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width)

What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

Width = 2l

Length = l

186 = 2(2l + l )

Divide both sides by 2

93 = 2l + l

93 = 3l

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

l = 31 feet

W = 31 x 2 = 62 feet
