    l=20m

    w=5m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let "l" be the length of the rectangle &

    let "w" be the width of the rectangle

    l=15+w

    P=2 (l+w)

    50m=2 (15m+w+w)

    50m=2 (15+2w)

    50m=30m+4w

    20m=4w

    w=5m

    l=15m+w

    l=15m+5m

    l=20m

    Proof:

    P=2 (l+w)

    P=2 (15m+w+w)

    50m=2 (20m+5m)

    50m=40m+10m

    50m=50m
