Question

The perimeter of a​ rectangular-shaped field is 122 ft. the width is 23 ft shorter than the length. find the length and width of the field.

Answer 1

let
the length = x
the width = x-23
perimeter = 122 ft
perimeter = 2 ( length + width )
122 = 2 ( x + x-23)
122 = 2x + 2x - 46
122=4x-46
122+46=4x
168=4x
x=168/4
x=42
length=42
width = x -23
= 42-23
= 19
