Let x be the width of the rectangle.
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
900 = 2( x + (x+184) )
900 = 2(2x + 184)
900 = 4x + 368
4x = 532
x = 133
So the width of the rectangle is 133 ft and the length is 133+184 = 317 ft.
A certain field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 900
feet. The length is 184
feet more than the width. Find the width and length of the rectangular field.
