Answer:

W = 10

L = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

P = 2*(L + W)

Givens

  • W = x
  • L = 2*x + 1
  • P = 62 feet

Solution

  • 2*(L + W) = P
  • 2*(2x + 1 + x) = 62 feet     Substitute the givens
  • 2*(3x + 1) = 62                  Remove the brackets
  • 6x + 2 = 62                       Subtract 2 from both sides
  • 6x = 62 - 2                        Do the subtraction
  • 6x = 60                             Divide by 4
  • x = 60/6                            Do the division
  • x = 10

Answer

  • Width = 10
  • Length = 2x + 1 = 2*10 + 1 =20+ 1 = 21
