Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)
The area of the original deck is
The dimensions of the new deck are :
length = 4W+6
width=W+2
so the area of the new deck is :
"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:
the length is
ft
Answer: width: 4, length: 16
