WIDTH=20 METERS

Perimeter of a rectangle is 2L +2W   We know that L=37  so 2L=74

114 is the perimeter.

114=74+ 2W
Subtract 74 from both sides

40=2W

Divide by 2

Width=20

The sides of the rectangle are 20, 37,20,37 (units are meters)

A square is a special rectangle where all sides are equal.  All squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.  (not necessary for this problem).</PRE>
