Answer:
Length = 21
Width = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the formula for perimeter is:
P=2W+2L
And we also know that:
L=W+5
So then we put all that we know in the formula:
74=2W+2(W+5)
Now we expand the brackets and do some algebra:
74=4W+10 (-10)
64=4W (÷4)
16=W
Now that we know the width we can pop that into the length equation:
L=16+5
L=21
