You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of a rectangular lot is 60 meters greater than the width. It's perimeter is 400 meters.
How do I find the length and width of the lot
--------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
--------
400 = 2(x+60 + x)
----
200 = 2x+60
----
2x = 140
----
x = 70 (width)
x+60 = 130 (length)
