Answer:

19 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is calculated by multiplying the sum of length and width by 2

width is 3 less than length so if we call the width x the length would be x + 3

2×(x + x + 3) = 4x + 6 and

4x + 6 = 70 subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 64 divide both sides by 4

x = 16

The length is x + 3 so the answer is 19 feet
