Answer:
length = 20 ft, width = 11 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
let w be width, then length = w + 9
The opposite sides of a rectangle are equal , then
2w + 2(w + 9) = 62
2w + 2w + 18 = 62
4w + 18 = 62 ( subtract 18 from both sides )
4w = 44 ( divide both sides by 4 )
w = 11
and w + 9 = 11 + 9 = 20
then width = 11 ft and length = 20 ft
