Answer 2

The dimensions of rectangle are
`45\ ft` by
`20\ ft`

Explanation:

we know that

the perimeter of rectangle is equal to

`P=2(L+W)`

In this problem we have

`P=130\ ft`

so

`130=2(L+W)`

`65=(L+W)` ------> equation A

`L=2W+5` -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

`65=(2W+5+W)`

`65-5=(2W+W)`

`3W=60`

`W=20\ ft`

Find the value of L

`L=2W+5` ------>
`L=2(20)+5=45\ ft`
