By solving a system of equations, we will see that the width is 170ft and the length 275 ft.

<h3>How to get the dimensions of the base?</h3>

For a rectangle of length x and width y, the perimeter is:

P = 2*(x + y).

Here we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft

p = 890ft = 2(x + y)

So we have a system of equations.

To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:

890ft = 2(x + y)

890ft = 2(( 2y - 65ft) + y)

Now we can solve this for y.

890ft = 4y - 130ft + 2y

890ft + 130ft = 6y

1020ft/6 = y = 170ft

So the width is 170ft, and we know that:

x = 2y - 65ft = 2*(170ft) - 65ft = 275ft

So the length is 275 ft.
