Width of the rectangle is 13 ft and length of the rectangle is 33 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Given perimeter of the rectangle = 92 ft. Let the width be x, then the length of the rectangle = 2x + 7. Use the formula for perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width) to find the dimensions.

92 = 2(2x + 7 + x) = 2(3x + 7) = 6x + 14

⇒ 92 = 6x + 14

⇒ 78 = 6x

⇒ x = 78/6

∴ x = 13 ft

⇒ Width of the rectangle = 13 ft

∴ Length of the rectangle = 2x + 7 = 26 + 7 = 33 ft
