You have asked no question.

I am ASSUMING you want to know how to solve the equation to learn the width.

2L + 2W = 62

2(20) + 2W =
62

    40 + 2W = 62

            2W = 22

              W = 11

Answer:

Width of the run is \(11\) feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangular field

\(= 2 (length) + 2( width)\\= 2 l + 2w\\\)

On solving the above equation, we get -

\(2l + 2w = 62\\2 (20) + 2w = 62\\w = \frac{62 -40}{2} \\w = 11\\\)

Width of the run is \(11\) feet
