Answer:

15ft wide X 16ft long

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this answer, you must first know that perimeter is the addition of all sides in a shape. Since you have a rectangle, you are trying to find the length of 4 sides.

To find out the length of the sides, lets first subtract 2 from 62. In doing so, we are left with 60ft-- a number than can easily be divided by 4.

Next, divide 60 by 4, giving you 15. This shows us that each side will equal 15, but we still have to add back the 2 that we subtracted from earlier.

The 15 tells us that we currently have 15 + 15 + 15 + 15. Simply add a 1 to two of those numbers to account for the 2 we subtracted. This should give you a final answer of 16 + 16 + 15 + 15, or 15ft x 16ft. Hope this helps!
