Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of rectangle be "l"

Let width of rectangle be "w"

We know,

LENGTH is 2 MORE THAN WIDTH, we can write:

l = w + 2

Also, note the perimeter is the sum of all 4 sides of a rectangle, thus:

length + width + length + width

Now,

The perimeter is given as 72, so we can write:

l + l + w + w = 72

2l + 2w = 72

We have 2 equations that we need to solve and find the length (l).

The first equation is:

l = w + 2

Rearranging, we have:

w = l - 2

We put this into 2nd equation and find the value of l:

2l + 2w = 72\\2l + 2(l-2) = 72\\2l+2l-4=72\\4l-4=72\\4l=76\\l=\frac{76}{4}\\l=19

The length is 19 meters, the correct answer is C
