The perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides. Divide the perimeter in half fo the some of one length and one width:

Length + width = 15

Area is length x width

Find 2 numbers that when added equal 15 but when multiplied equal 14

15 + 0 = 15, 15 x 0 = 0

14 + 1 = 15, 14 x 1 = 14

The answer is 14 ft long by 1 ft wide
