Let's assume the width of the field is x.
The expression for the width of the field is x.
The length of the field is 10 feet more than twice the width of the field, so it can be represented as 2x + 10.
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides, so we can set up the equation 2x + 2(2x + 10) = 260.
Simplifying this equation, we get 2x + 4x + 20 = 260.
Combining like terms, we get 6x + 20 = 260.
Subtracting 20 from both sides, we get 6x = 240.
Dividing both sides by 6, we get x = 40.
Therefore, the width of the field is 40 feet.
Now we can find the length of the field by substituting the value of x into the expression 2x + 10.
Length = 2(40) + 10 = 80 + 10 = 90.
Therefore, the actual length of the field is 90 feet.
