The perimeter of a college athletic field is 96 meters and t

The perimeter of a college athletic field is 96 meters and the length is 14 m more than the width. Find the length and width.

Solution

Let Length be L

Let Width be W

Since, length is 14 m more than the width.

L = 14+W

And Perimeter is 96

2(L+W) = 96

L+W = 48

Put L= 14+W

14+W+W = 48

2W = 34

W = 17 Unit

L = 14+17 = 31 Unit

So, Length = 31 Unit

Width = 17 Unit
