Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width). Let the width be x meters. Then, the length is x + 6 meters. The perimeter is 2(x + x + 6) = 148 meters. Simplifying, we get 4x + 12 = 148, so 4x = 136, and x = 34 meters for the width. The length is x + 6 = 40 meters.
