(2)

Let the length be 'a' and width be 'b'.

Perimeter, 2(a+b) = 26 è

a + b = 13 ------------------------------- (1)

and length is 1 m more than twice the widthè

a = 1 + 2b ----------------------- (2)

Solve for a and b using (1) and (2):

a + b = 13 ------------------------------- (1)
a - 2b = 1 ----------------------- (2)

(1) - (2) è: 3b = 12 è b = 4
From (2), a = ...
