Answer:

The length is 22 and the width is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve for the length by using the perimeter formula.

P = 2l + 2w.

You know P = 80. You also know the length is l and the width is w = l - 4.

80 = 2l + 2(l - 4)

80 = 2l + 2l - 8

80 = 4l - 8

88 = 4l

22 = l

This means the width which is 4 meters less is 22 - 4 = 18.
