    Answer:

    Width  = 50ft

    Length = 160ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given parameter:

    The perimeter of the flag is 420ft

    Unknown:

    Length of flag  = ?

    Width of flag  = ?

    Solution:

    To solve this problem;

     Perimeter of the flag is given as:

      Perimeter  = 2(Length + width)

    Length  =110 + Width

      Now insert the parameters:

         420  = 2(110 + Width + Width )

       let w = width

         420  = 2(110 + 2w)

         420  = 220 + 4w    

          4w  = 200

             w  = 50ft

    Length  = 110 + 50 = 160ft
