Answer:
Width = 3
Length = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the perimeter = L+L+W+W
we know the perimeter to be 14 so 14 = L+L+W+W and it tells us the length is 1ft more the the width so the width will be x and the length will be x+1
14 = x+1+x+1+x+x
Combind like terms:
14 = 4x+2
-2 +14 = 4x+2 -2
12 = 4x
12/4 = (4x)/4
x = 3
Taking this peice of information we stick it back into our side lengths.
x and x+1
the width = x and length = x+1
