    L=5W

    P=2 (L+W), using L found above in this equation gives us:

    P=2 (5W+W)

    P=2 (6W)

    P=12W

    W=P/12, we are told that P=70

    W=70/12

    W=5 5/6, and since L=5W

    L=25+25/6

    L=29 1/6

    So the length is 29 1/6 cm and the width is 5 5/6 cm. If you wish to round to nearest tenths, length is 29.2 cm and width is 5.83 cm.
