Solution:

Given;

[tex]w=l+10,P=140ft[/tex]

The perimeter of a rectangle is;

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2(l+w) \\ \\ 140=2(l+l+10) \\ \\ \frac{140}{2}=2l+10 \\ \\ 70-10=2l \\ \\ 2l=60 \\ \\ l=\frac{60}{2} \\ \\ l=30ft \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then;

[tex]\begin{gathered} w=30+10 \\ \\ w=40ft \end{gathered}[/tex]

CORRECT ANSWER:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Width=40ft \\ \\ Length=30ft \end{gathered}[/tex]
