  • The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 feet.
02

Step 2. Define the variables

  • Let the width of the rectangle is wfeet.
  • So, the length of the rectangle isw+8feet.
03

Step 3. Use the formula of Perimeter

  • Use the formula of perimeter P=2w+2land substitute P=60,l=w+8into the formula and solve for the unknown variable.

60=2w+2w+860=4w+164w=44w=11

  • So, the width of the rectangle is 11 feet.
04

Step 4. Calculate the Length

  • Substitute 11 for w into l=w+8 and solve for l.

l=w+8=11+8=19

  • So, the length is 19 feet.
