    Length = 24 and width = 6.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2L + 2W = 60 where L = length and W = width.

    The length must be in the 20's to make a perimeter of 60, as there's no number in the 10's or 30's that has 2 consecutive even integers and 40 something is impossible.

    The only length which fits the given conditions is 24.

    Then the width would be (60 - 2 (24)) / 2 = (60 - 48) / 2

    = 6.

    That's the answer.
