Let one width be x.
So,
length = (x+2) {consecutive odd integers}
Perimeter = 168 cm
According to condition,
2{x+(x+2)} = 168
or, 2(2x+2) = 168
or, 4x+4 = 168
or, 4x = 168-4
or, 4x = 164
or, x = 164/4
or, x = 41
So, width = x = 41 cm.
Length = (x+2) = (41+2) cm = 43 cm.
Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 41 cm and 43 cm respectively.
Hope this helps you to get to your answer.
