the width of the flag is 4 feet less than 2 times the length.
What are the measurements Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Perimeter = 2W + 2L = 75
W = 2L-4
Substitute for W
2(2L-4) + 2L = 75
4L-8 +2L = 75
6L = 83
L = 13 5/6 feet, or 13' 10"
W = 2L-4 = (83/3)-4
W = 71/3
W = 23 2/3 feet, or 23' 8"
