his yards.
ath is yards

Answer 1

• Let width be x
• Length=3x-5

`\\ \rm\longmapsto Perimeter=2(L+B)`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 2(x+3x-5)=366`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 2(4x-5)=366`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 4x-5=(366)/(2)`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 4x-5=183`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 4x=183+5`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 4x=188`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x=(188)/(4)`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto x=47`

`\\ \rm\longmapsto 3x-5=3(47)-5=141-5=146`
