The width is 7.2 feet, and the length is 11.8 feet.
We have the system of equations:
L - w = 4.6 (equation 1)
2L + 2w = 38 (equation 2)
In equation 1, we can solve for one variable in terms of the other:
L = w + 4.6
Substituting this into equation 2, we get:
2(w + 4.6) + 2w = 38
Simplifying:
2w + 9.2 + 2w = 38
4w + 9.2 = 38
4w = 28.8
w = 7.2
So the width is 7.2 feet. When we substitute this for L in our expression, we obtain:
L = 7.2 + 4.6 = 11.8
So the length is 11.8 feet.
Therefore, the width is 7.2 feet, and the length is 11.8 feet.
