    2 [ L + W ] = 180

    2 [ 36 + W ] = 180

    36 + W = 90

    W = 54 m

    L = 36 m

    Part 1:

    The perimeter of a rectangular piece of land is 180 meters.

    If the length of the rectangle is 36 meters,

    then the width of the rectangle is 54 meters.

    Part 2:

    What if instead it is known that the length is 36 meters more than the width?

    w + w + 36 = 90

    The length and the width are 63 meters and 27 meters respectively.

    Prob 1

    2L + 2W = 2(L + W) = 180 meters

    L + W = 90 meters

    since

    W = 90 meters - L

    L = 36

    W = 90 =36 = 54 meter

    Prob 2

    L + W = 90

    L = 36 + W

    36 + 2W = 90

    2W = 54

    W = 27

    =(180-72)/2=54

    36 x 54

    2(w+w+36)=180 >>4w=180-72=108 w=27

    27+27+63+63=180

    27 x 63
