Answer:
The length of the rectangle is 16 yards
The width of the rectangle is 9 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The perimeter of the rectangle = 50 yards
The width, W of the rectangle = 1 + Length, L/2
Therefore we have;
W = 1 + L/2
2 × W + 2 × L = 50
2 × (1 + L/2) + 2 × L = 50
2 + L + 2·L = 50
3·L = 50 - 2 = 48
L = 48/3 = 16
The length, L = 16 yards
The width, W = 1 + L/2 = 1 + 16/2 = 1 + 8 = 9
The width, W = 9 yards.
