Answer: So lets say that the width is w. The length(L) is 4 meters greater than 3 times the width. 3 times the width would be 3w, and then 4 meters greater than that would be 3w+4. You have two widths and two lengths to a rectangle that must add up to equal 72. So 2w + 2L =72. But remember that one L equals 3w+4
2(w) + 2(3w+4) = 72
2w+6w+8=72
8w+8=72
8w=64
w=8
L=3w+4
L=3(8)+4
L=24+4
L=28
So the dimensions are 8 meters by 28 meters
To check 2(8)+2(28)=72
