    L = W+8

    P = 76 ft = 2 (W) + 2 (W+8) = 2W + 2W + 16 = 4W + 16.

    Then 70 ft=4w, and w=70/4 = 35/2

    L = W + 8 (as before). Then L = (35/2) + 8 = 25.5 = 25 1/2 = 51/2 (answer)

    x+x + (x+8) + (x+8) = 76

    4x+16=76

    4x=60

    x=15

    with=15 length=23 (15+8)

    15+15+23+23 = 76
