Answer:

length=14 width=5

Explanation:

since the length is 4 more then subtract 4*2=8 which would equal 30 divide that by two since a rectangle has 4 sides two of which are the same,

than divide it by the getting 5 which is the width.

subtract 5*2=10 from 38 which would = 28

28divided by 2 is the length which is 14

Answer:

The answer are

Width=5ft

Length=14ft

Explanation:

P=2(L+B)

P/2=2(L+B)/2

P/2=L+B

L=4+2W

38/2=4+2W+W

19=4+3W

3W=19-4

3W=15

divide both sides by 3

3W/3=15/3

W=5ft

L=4+2W

L=4+2(5)

L=4+10

L=14ft
