For this case, what we must do is find the dimensions of the patio.
For this, we use the following perimeter equation:
Where,
w: width of the patio
l: length of the patio
Substituting values we have:
Then, on the other hand, we know that:
The patio is 5 feet less wide than it is long:
We then have the following equations:
Solving by substitution we have:
Then, the width is:
Answer:
The dimensions of the patio are given by:
