Answer 2

Half the perimeter is the length + the width.

Let the width = x

The length is x + 4. ( 4 feet more than the width)

Now you have x + x + 4 = 20

Combine like terms:

2x + 4 = 20

Subtract 4 from both sides:

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2:

X = 8

The width is 8 feet

The length is 8 + 4 = 12 feet
