Answer:
The Length is 56 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
w + w + 8 + w + 8 + w = 208 (two sides have a width of w and 2 sides have the length of 8 + w)
Combine the w/s and the 8's
4w + 16 = 208 Subtract 16 from both sides of the equation
4w = 192 Divide both sides by 4
w = 48 The width is 48 feet. That means that the length is 8 feet longer or 56 feet.
Check:
48 + 48 + 56 + 56 = 208
208 = 208
