    Length=17

    Width=13

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The general formula for calculating the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 (l+w)

    L=length

    W=width

    But this value is not given specifically in the question, so we will have to interpret the question

    So let solve this

    Let the length of the rectangle be x

    The width is 4m longer than the length, 4+x

    So let's solve

    2 (x+4+x) = 60

    2 (2x+4) = 60

    4x+8=60

    Substrate 8 from both sides

    4x=52

    Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 4

    x=13

    So the width is 13

    Let's calculate the length

    4+x

    4+13

    17

    Length=17

    Width=13
