Answer:

  53 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then w+2 is the length, and the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(L+W) . . . . . . . . . formula for the perimeter of a rectangle

  216 = 2((w+2) +w) . . . . fill in values for length and width

  216 = 4w +4 . . . . . . simplify

  54 = w +1  . . . . . divide by 4

  53 = w . . . . . subtract 1

The width of the rectangle is 53 yards.
