In word problems, they will probably
tell you that the length and width are
related in some way.
---------------
They might say that the length equals
the width plus 3
----------------
In that case, call the width and
call the length
----------------
Then it will ask you for the area or
the perimeter

-----------------
Substituting for and ,

and

----------------------
Then you use what else is given to find
out what they want.
-------------------
When dealing with area, they often want
to know the maximum area you can enclose
with a certain length of fence.
That always turns out to be a square area, so
the length and width would not be different
--------------------
When they are concerned with the perimeter,
they usually want to know the minimum
length of fence that will enclose a certain
area.
-------------
Hope this helps
