Answer:

Perimeter = 45ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent the Length as L and the Width as W.

So, we have the following:

L = 2W + 3

Area = 65

Required

Determine the perimeter

The area of a rectangle is calculated as thus:

Area = L * W

Substititute 65 for Area

65 = L * W

Substitute 2W + 3 for L

65 = (2W + 3) * W

This gives:

65 = 2W^2 + 3W

Equate to 0

2W^2 + 3W - 65 = 0

Expand:

2W^2 + 10W - 13W - 65 = 0

Factorize:

2W(W + 5) - 13(W + 5) = 0

(2W - 13)(W + 5) = 0

2W - 13 = 0\ or\ W + 5 = 0

2W = 13\ or\ W = -5

W = \frac{13}{2} or W = -5

But width can't be less than 0.

So:

W = \frac{13}{2}

W = 6.5

Recall that:

L = 2W + 3

L = 2 * 6.5 + 3

L = 16

The perimeter is calculated as thus:

Perimeter = 2 * (L + W)

Perimeter = 2 * (16 + 6.5)

Perimeter = 45ft
