Answer:

L=29ft

W=15ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

let the width be x

W=x

L= x+14

P= 88ft

perimeter= 2L+2W

so, substituting our data we have

88=2(x+14)+2x

88=2x+28+2x

collect like terms

88=4x+28

88-28=4x

60=4x

divide both sides by 4

x=60/4

x=15

Step two:

the dimensions are

the width is 15ft

the length= 15+14

L=29ft
