Answer:
Width = 5 m
Length = 8 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the fence's width.
Since the length is 3 m longer than the width, the representation for the length is x + 3.
The formula for perimeter is 2w+2l = P
Formula and Solution:
2x + 2(x + 3) = 26
2x + 2x + 6 = 26
4x + 6 = 26
4x = 26 - 6
4x = 20
x = 5
x + 3 = 8
