The question requires we find the length and width of the rectangle
The length and width of the rectangle is
19 ft and 15 ft respectively
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
let
width of the rectangle = x
Length of the rectangle = (x + 4) ft
perimeter of the rectangle = 68ft
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width)
68 = 2{(x + 4) + x}
68 = 2(x + 4 + x)
68 = 2(2x + 4)
68 = 4x + 8
68 - 8 = 4x
60 = 4x
divide both sides by 4
60/4 = x
x = 15
Therefore,
width of the rectangle = x
= 15 ft
Length of the rectangle = (x + 4) ft
= (15 + 4)
= 19 ft
