( type and integer or a decimal) Answer by brucewill(101) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = width
Therefore, x + 61 = length.
Permiter requires 2 each of width & length.
2x + 2(x + 61) = 174
2x + 2x + 122 = 174
4x = 52 width
Therefore, 13 + 61 = 74 length.
Check: 13 + 74 + 13 + 74 = 174. OK.
