Answer:
Length = 17
Width = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter is the distance round a figure.
We use algebra to solve the word equation.
Length = x
Width= x-5(we were told width is 5 feet less than length.)
58= x + x + (x-5) + (x-5)
58 = 2x + 2x-10
58 = 4x - 10
58 + 10 =4x
68 = 4x
17 = x
We said length = x so length is 17
We said width = x-5 so 17-5=12
