Answer

Width

10 m

length

20 m

Step-by-step solution

7 steps
  1. Let width be ww m.

    Then length is (w+10)(w + 10) m.

    Formula for perimeter of rectangle:

    P=2(l+w)P = 2(l + w)
  2. Substitute values.

    60=2((w+10)+w)60 = 2((w + 10) + w)
  3. Simplify inside parentheses first.

    60=2(2w+10)60 = 2(2w + 10)
  4. Divide both sides by 2.

    30=2w+1030 = 2w + 10
  5. Subtract 10 from both sides.

    20=2w20 = 2w
  6. Divide both sides by 2.

    w=10w = 10
  7. Find length.

    l=w+10=10+10=20l = w + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20

    **Final answer: Width = 10 m, length = 20 m}
