Answer: l = 60 ft and w = 30 ft
P = 2(l + w)
180 = 2(l + w)
Let x = width of his yard
Let 2x = length of his yard
[tex]180=2(2x+x)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{180}{2}=\frac{2(2x+x)}{2}[/tex]
[tex]90=3x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{90}{3} =\frac{3x}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=30ft[/tex]
l = 2x = 30(2) = 60 ft
Check:
180 = 2(l + w)
180 = 2(60 + 30)
180 = 2(90)
180 = 180
LS = RS
