Answer:

160 ft, 250ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Rectangular base:

Width = w

length =2w - 70

Perimeter = 820 ft

2*(length + width) = 820

2*(2w - 70 + w ) = 820

2 *(2w + w - 70) = 820     {Combine like terms}

2* (3w - 70) = 820

3w*2 - 70*2 = 820

6w - 140  = 820    

6w  = 820 + 140     {Add 140 to both side}

6w = 960     {Divide both sides by 6}

w = 960/6

w = 160 ft

length = 2*160 - 70

          = 320 - 70

          = 250 ft
