AX-83; width = 87 ft: length - 171
Bx-47; width - 51 ft: length - 99 it
CX-37width - 41 Ft: length - 79 TL
DX- 77: width - 81 le length - 159 it

Answer 1

3rd option

x = 37 ; width = 41 feet ; length = 79 feet

Explanation:

perimeter = sum of all sides= 240 feet

2(x + 4) + 2(2x+5) = 240

2x + 8 + 4x + 10 = 240

6x + 18 = 240

6x = 240 - 18

6x = 222

x = 222/6

x = 37

length = 2x + 5

=2(37) + 5

=74 + 5

= 79 feet

width = x + 4

= 37 + 4

= 41 feet
