Let the Length of the rectangle be l and the width of the rectangle be w
The width of a rectangular field is 3 meters less than its length, this can be represented as
w = l - 3
Given the perimeter = 58meters
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + w)
58 = 2(l + l-3)
58 = 2(2l - 3)
58 = 4l - 6
58 + 6 = 4l
64 = 4l
4l = 64
l = 64/4
l = 16
w = l - 3
w = 16 - 3
w = 13
Hence, the length of the rectangle is 16 meters while the width is 13 meters.
