Perimeter = 2L + 2W = 256

"8 feet longer than it is wide"
translates to
L = 8 + W

we plug that into the first equation and get
2(8 + W) + 2W = 256
now we solve for W

distribute the 2
16 + 2W + 2W = 256

add like terms
16 + 4W = 256

subtract 16 from both sides
4W = 240

divide both sides by 4
W = 60

plug that into
L = 8 + W
and solve for L now

L = 8 + 60
so
L = 68

therefore your
length = 68
and
width = 60

What is pythagoras triplets?
dedylja [7]
A pythagoras triplet is a set of three numbers ... not just any three numbers,
but a set where the (square of one of them) is the sum of the (squares of the
other two). 

If they're related in that way, then they can be the lengths of the sides of a
right triangle.

If they're not, then they can't.
