Put the vocal process in order from bottom (first part) to top (last part).

okay pretend there's a number next to each one so I can effectively give you the answer (like 1, 2, 3, and 4) anyways, it's 3 first, 1 is second, 4 is third, and 3 is last. if it's easier to imagine there are letters beside them, it would go (in the order of the alphabet) c, a, d, then b. hope this helps.

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
