Answer:

Equation: yard = 4w+8 = 208

width = 50 length = 54

Explanation:

yard = w + w + l + l

Since length = width + 4, replace the lengths with that.

yard = w + w + (w+4) + (w+4)

Simplify the right side.

yard = 4w+8

Replace "yard" with 208 because we know its perimeter is 208.

208 = 4w + 8

Subtract both sides by 8.

200=4w

Divide each side by 4.

50 = w

Conclusion: width = 50.

Since length = width + 4 and width =50, length = 54.

Hope this helps! :D

Answer:

equation: 4w + 8 = 208

width = 50 ft; length = 54 ft

Explanation:

w = width

length = L = width + 4 = w + 4

perimeter = 2(L + w) = 2(w + 4 + w) = 2(2w + 4) = 4w + 8

perimeter = 208 ft

4w + 8 = 208

4w = 200

w = 50

width = 50 ft

length = 50 + 4 = 54

length = 54 ft
