Answer:
Width = 132 feet, Length = 291 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
perimeter (P) = 846
let width(W) = x
length(L) = 159 feet more than width = 159 + W= 159 + x
P of a rectangle = 2*(L + W)
846 = 2*((159 + x) + x)
divide both side by 2
423 = (159 + x) + x
423 = 159 + 2x
rearranging
2x + 159 = 423
2x = 423 -159
2x = 264
divide both sides by 2
x = 132 feet
recall W = x and L = 159 + x
W = 132 feet
L = 159 + 132 = 291 feet
