Answer :

If the width of a rectangle is two feet less than the length and the perimeter is 52 feet, then the length and width of the rectangle is 14 feet and 12 feet respectively

The width of a rectangle is two feet less than the length

Consider the length of the rectangle as x

Then the width of the rectangle = x - 2

The perimeter of the rectangle = 52 feet

The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + w)

Where l is the length and w id the width

Substitute the values in the equation

2(x + x - 2) = 52

2(2x - 2) = 52

2x - 2 = 52/2

2x - 2 = 26

2x = 28

x = 14 feet

Width of the rectangle = 14 - 2

= 12 feet

Therefore, the length and width of the rectangle is 14 feet and 12 feet respectively
