In the phantom tollbooth, act i, a major event occurs when a. the lethargarians run from the watchdog. b. each guest at the banquet names two dishes and a dessert. c. milo suggests that rhyme and reason be allowed to return. d. king azaz fades from view as the stage lights darken.

ive noticed that too but is this a question

perimeter = 2l +2w, divide total perimeter by 2 for total length of 1 side and 1 width

172/2 = 86 (  total for 1 side and 1 width)

86-24 = 62 (since length is 24 ft longer subtract 24 then divide by 2 for width)

62/2 = 31

width = 31 feet

length = 31 +24 = 55 feet

check: 31*2 = 62, 55*2 = 110,  110+62 = 172
