    Answer: The length = 185

    and the Width = 45

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Perimeter of a rectangle is given as 2 (L + B), that is

    2 (L+B) = 460

    divide through by 2

    L + B = 230

    Also, from the second statement

    L - 5 = 4B, that is

    L - 4B = 5

    Combining the two equations and solving simultaneously, we have

    L = 185 and B = 45
