How to find the perimeter of the rectangle?

⇒Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+w)

The perimeter of a rectangle is 320 feet

let the length of a rectangle is x

The next consecutive odd integer is x+2

width = 5(x+2)

=5x+10

2(length + width) = 320

l+w=160

x+5x+10=160

6x=150

x=25

length = 25 feet

width = 5(25+2)=135 feet
