Answer:

Width: 450 feet

Length: 720 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So we start with the equation to find the perimeter -

2l + 2w = p

l = length

w = width

p = perimeter

We insert the 2,340 ft as the perimeter -

2l + 2w = 2,340 ft

Now we find another equation for the "length is 270 ft greater than width" -

l = 270 ft + w

Using substitution, we substitute the y in the first equation with 270 ft + w -

2 (270 ft + w) + 2w = 2,340 ft

540 ft + 2w + 2w = 2,340 ft

540 ft + 4w = 2,340 ft

4w = 2,340 ft - 540 ft

4w = 1,800 ft

w = 1,800 ft / 4

w = 450 ft

Now to find the width we substitute the w with 450 ft -

l = 270 ft + w

l = 270 ft + 450 ft

l = 720 ft

Check -

2 * 720 ft + 2 * 450 ft = 2,340 ft

1,440 ft + 900 ft = 2,340 ft

2,340 ft = 2,340 ft  (Correct)
