Answer by gsmani_iyer(201) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

the formula for perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)
here let the length of the rectangle = x meters
So the width of the rectangle = +1 (Given)
by applying the formula to get the perimeter
= 2 * (x + ()) = 110 meters
= 2 * (x + + 1) = 110 meters
= 2x + x + 2
= 3x + 2 = 110 meters
= 3x = 110 - 2 = 108 meters.
= x = = 36 meters
So the length = 36 meters
and the width = 19 meters (half of length + 1)

I hope it is clear to you
