You can put this solution on YOUR website! the perimeter of a rectangular yard is 270 feet. if its length is 25 feet greater than its width, what are the dimensions of the yard.
P perimeter = 2 * L length + 2 * W width = 270 feet
270 = 2 * (L + W)
135 = L + W
135 = (W + 25) + W
135 = 2W + 25
110 = 2W
55 feet = W
L = W + 25 = 55 + 25 = 80 feet
