Answer:
D w = 12ft, l = 32ft
Explanation:
Make an equation for your length based on the given information.
l = 2w + 8
Make an equation using what you know about the perimeter
p =2l + 2w, p = 88
88 = 2l +2w
Substitute in your previous equation for l.
88 = 2(2w + 8) + 2w
Distribute and simplify.
88 = 4w + 16 + 2w
88 = 6w + 16
72 = 6w
w = 12
Now you can solve for l using the first equation.
l = 2(12) + 8
l = 32
Your answer is w = 12fr, l = 32ft. You can check your work by plugging the values back into the perimeter equation.
