Answer:31 feet

Step-by-step explanation: formula for computing perimeter of rectangle is 2L + 2W

And one L is 27 2L =54

2W= 114-2L

2w= 114-2(27)

2w=62

W=62/2

W= 31

Hence the width per the question is 31feet

Answer:

w=31 feet

Explanation:

multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.
