Assume it's a rectangle, then

perimeter is all four sides added together, and length = width +14 inches.
Go from there.

Using 'L' for length and 'W' width, tell me in a mathematical way that the perimeter is 132 in.

anonymous · Answer

$$132=2l + 2w$$$$w+14=l$$$$132=2(w+14)+2w$$$$132=2w+28+2w=4w+28$$$$104=4w$$$$w=26 $$$$l=40$$

perimeter= L+L+W+W
