OKay, so the first thing you need to do is set up the equations the word problem gives you :)

So, you have

L = W + 10 -> Because the Length is 10 feet longer the WIdth

and then the equation for area, which is 

L * W = Area

anonymous · Answer

With that, you substitute the equation for L into the equation for Area.  
So, 
Area = (W+10) * W 

And then plug in the area that you know

1064 = (W+10) * W 

and Solve for W :)

Do you know how to do that?
