Answer:
The length is 22 and the width is 18.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can solve for the length by using the perimeter formula.
P = 2l + 2w.
You know P = 80. You also know the length is l and the width is w = l - 4.
80 = 2l + 2(l - 4)
80 = 2l + 2l - 8
80 = 4l - 8
88 = 4l
22 = l
This means the width which is 4 meters less is 22 - 4 = 18.
