A farmer needs to fence a rectangular piece of land.She wants the length of the field to be 55 feet longer than the width. If she has 1310 feet of fencing material, what should be the length and the width of the field?

Call the width ' W '.
Then the length is W + 55

Perimeter (distance all around) = W + (W+55) + W + (W+55) = 4W + 110

4W + 110 = 1,310

4W = 1,200

W = 300-ft

Length = W + 55 = 355-ft
