Alright how do I start this

radar · Answer

2w + 4 + 2w = 24
4w = 20
w = 5
l = 5 + 2 = 7

radar · Answer

The perimeter equals the sum of all 4 sides and it is given as 24.  The rest is algebra.

w is the width
l is the length

jakob · Answer

Alright you lost me

radar · Answer

Look at my diagram of the storage shed........w is the measurement of the width in meters
l is the length which is given as the width + 2 meters, so the length is w+2.

There are two sides as the width, and two sides as the length  2(w +2).  Think about it like a rectangle.

radar · Answer

Similarily there are two width, that explains the 2w.  Add em up to 24.
