When the rectangular plot has been fenced all the sides, the length of the fence is the perimeter of the rectangle. Here,
Let the width = x
So the length = 2x + 4 (as per the condition in the problem)
Perimeter 2L + 2B = 2(l+b)
= 500 Ft.

Dividing both the sides by 2, we get,

=
So x = = 82Ft.
2x+4 = = 164+4 = 168 Ft.
Width = 82 Ft.
Length = 168 Ft. Answer.
I guess you understood this.
