let W be the width, L be the length and P be the perimeter of the rectangle
Then, L = 1 0 + W
The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of its sides.
P = 2 L + 2 W
However, L = 1 0 + W , we substitute
1 2 0 = 2 ( 1 0 + W ) + 2 W
1 2 0 = 2 0 + 2 W + 2 W
1 2 0 = 2 0 + 4 W
1 0 0 = 4 W
2 5 = W
answer: 25 meters
