Step 1. Given Information 

  • The width of the rectangle is 7 meters less than the length.
  • The perimeter of the rectangle is 58 meters.
02

Step 2. Define the variables

  • Let the length of the rectangle is lmeters.
  • So, the width will be l -7 meters.
03

Step 3. Use the formula of Perimeter

  • Substitute P=58,w=l-7in the formula of perimeter, P=2w+2land solve to find the value of the unknown.

role="math" localid="1644154084896" 58=2l-7+2l58=4l-1472=4ll=18

  • So, the length of the rectangle is 18 meters.
04

Step 4. Find the Width

  • Substitute l=18into w=l-7and solve to find the width.

w=18-7=11

  • So, the width of the rectangle is 11 meters.
05

Step 5. Conclusion

The length of the rectangle is 18 meters and the width is 11 meters.
