A rectangle whose perimeter is one hundred four feet. Has a width that is te feet shorter Then its length. What are the dimensions of the rectangle

Length of the rectangle is 24.5 ft and width is 27.5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Let the length of the rectangle be x, then width = x - 3. Find dimensions when perimeter = 104 ft

Perimeter = 2 (length + width)

⇒ 104 = 2 (x + x-3)

⇒ 104 = 2 (2x - 3)

⇒ 104 = 4x - 6

⇒ 4x = 110

∴ x = 110/4 = 27.5

⇒ x - 3 = 24.5
