    Answer:width=1.75feet Length=5.75feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    perimeter (p) = 14feet

    Length (L) = 3xwidth (w)

    L=3 x w

    P=2xL+2xw

    14=2xL + 2xw

    Substitute L=3 x w in 14=2xL+2xw

    14=2 x 3 x w + 2 x w

    14=6w+2w

    14=8w

    Divide both sides by 8

    14 ➗ 8=8w ➗ 8

    1.75=w

    Width=1.75feet

    Substitute w=1.75 in L=3 x w

    L=3x1.75 L=5.25

    Length=5.25feet
