I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 374 yard. If the length of the field is 99 yards, what is its width?

likoan [24]

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2*L+2*W. Knowing that length is 99, we do 2*99 to get 198.Do 374-198, which is 176, we know that that is twice the length of the width. Therefore the width is 176/2, which is 88.
