Answer:

The width of pen A is 7 feet,

The Length of Pen A is  11 feet,

The width of Pen B is 6 feet,

The Length of Pen B is 12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of pen A is 7 feet,

The Length of Pen A is 7 + 4 = 11 feet,

The width of Pen B is 7+4-5 = 6 feet,

The Length of Pen B is 2*(7+4-5) = 12 feet

[tex]w+w+w+w+4+4=(w+4-5)+(w+4-5) +2*(w+4-5)+2*(w+4-5)\\4w+8=6w-6\\14=2w\\w=7\\[/tex]
