Understanding the perimeter and area is really important for creating and taking care of sports fields. Here’s why:

1. Field Size:

   • A regular soccer field is about 100 to 110 meters long and 64 to 75 meters wide.
   • To find out how much space the field takes up, we use a simple formula for rectangles:
     Area = length × width
   • This means the field covers around 8,000 to 8,250 square meters.

2. Cost of Upkeep:

   • Knowing the area of the field helps us figure out how much grass seed, fertilizer, and water we’ll need.
   • For example, we need about 2 to 3 pounds of grass seed for every 1,000 square feet.

3. Finding the Perimeter:

   • We can find the perimeter (the distance around the field) using this formula:
     Perimeter = 2 × (length + width)
   • This is important for putting up fences or making tracks, which helps keep the players safe.

In short, knowing about perimeter and area helps us create the best sports fields and manage resources smartly.
