The perimeter of a rectangle is 700yds. What are the dimensions of the rectangle if the length is 60yds. more then width.

Solution:

         Width = w yds

         Length = L = w + 60 yds

        Perimeter = P = 2(L + w) = 2(w+60 + w) = 700

          w = (350 - 60)/2 = 145 yds

        L = 205 yds
