  • Length = x+4
  • Width = x
  • Perimeter = 68

[tex] \large\underline \bold{{SOLUTION}}[/tex]

Remember the formula in finding the perimeter:

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{P=2(L+W)}[/tex]

Substitute the given expressions and solving for the dimensions:

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{P=2(x+4+x)}[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{68=2x+4}[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{68-4=2x}[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{64=2x}[/tex]

[tex]\longmapsto\sf{32=x}[/tex]

Now, Substitute again the value of x to get the dimensions:

[tex]\textrm{Length = x+4 = 32+4 = \boxed{36meters}}[/tex]

[tex]\textrm{Width = x = \boxed{32meters}}[/tex]
