Answer:

Length= 95 feet

Width=76 feet

Explanation:

Let, the length of the rectangle be 'L'

Width be 'W'

Length =(W+19) feet

Perimeter of the rectangle=342 feet

Perimeter of a rectangle=2(Length+Width)


342=2(W+19+W)\\\\342=2(2W+19)\\\\342/2=2W+!9\\\\171=2W+19\\\\2W=171-19\\\\2W=152\\\\W=152/2\\\\W=76 feet\\\\

Width=76 feet

Length= Width+19

=76+19

=95 feet

Length= 95 feet

Width=76 feet
