    Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

    P = 2 (L + W)

    Plug in 160:

    160 = 2 (L + W)

    L = 4W

    So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.

    160 = 2 (L + W)

    160 = 2 (4W + W)

    Combine like terms:

    160 = 2 (5W)

    160 = 10W

    Divide 10 to both sides:

    W = 16

    Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

    L = 4W

    L = 4 (16)

    L = 64

    So the width is 16, and the length is 64.
