    Let the width be x feet, then the length is x + 3 and we have:-

    x (x + 3) = 10

    x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

    (x + 5) (x - 2) = 0

    x = 2, - 5 We ignore the - 5 because width must be positive.

    So the width is 2 and length is 2 + 3 = 5

    and the perimeter = 2 (5) + 2 (2) = 14 feet answer
