The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula
[tex]P=2L+2W[/tex]where
L is the length
W is the width
In this problem
we have that
P=374 yd
L=3W-5
substitute the given values in the formula
[tex]374=2(3W-5)+2W[/tex]Solve for W
[tex]\begin{gathered} 374=6W-10+2W \\ 374=8W-10 \\ 8W=384 \\ W=48\text{ yd} \end{gathered}[/tex]Find out the value of L
[tex]\begin{gathered} L=3(48)-5 \\ L=139\text{ yd} \end{gathered}[/tex]therefore
