    Assume that since this is a simple math problem and they only mentioned legnth and witdth,

    assume a perfect rectangle

    so assuming they use all the lumber

    30=perimiter

    perimiter=legnth around=legnth+legnth+with+width

    30=2legnth+2width

    undistribute

    30=2 (legnth+width)

    divide by 2

    15=legnth+width

    legnth is 4 more than 2width

    legnth=4+2width

    subsitute

    15=legnth+width

    15=4+2width+width

    subtract 4

    11=2width+width

    divide by 3

    11/3=width

    legnth=4+2width

    legnth=4+2 times (11/3)

    lefnth=4+22/3

    4=12/3

    legnth=12/3+22/3

    legnth=34/3 feet=11 and 1/3 foot

    width=11/3=3 and 2/3

    legnth=11 and 1/3 foot

    width=3 and 2/3 foot
