    Okay so the total is 183. So we can say 183 =

    Let's call the width (the longer side) x.

    We know that we have x, x + 32, and x - 5.

    We can say 183 = x + (x + 32) + (x - 5).

    Let's solve for x.

    x = 52.

    So we know the length is 84 feet, the shorter side has 47 feet, and the longer side has 52 feet.
