A certain field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 898 ft. The length is 183 ft more then the width. Find the width and length of the rectangular field

Question

What the is the width and what is the length

Answer 1

width=x 

perimeter = 898 

2( width + length ) = 898 , length = width + 183  = x + 183

width + length = 898/2 

x + x + 183 = 449

2x = 449 - 183 

2x = 266 

x = 133 

so, 

width = 133 

length = width + 183= 133 + 183 = 316
