Answer:

70 m and 60 m

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is length ⋅ width.

The area of the pasture of 4200 meters.

70 ⋅ 60 = 4200.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is side + side + side + side.

The perimeter of the rectangle is 260 meters.

70 + 60 + 70 + 60 = 260.

Therefore, the length and width of this pasture are 70 meters and 60 meters.
