Length = 34 cm

Width= 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle to be.........w

Length is 7 more than three times the width..........3w+7

Perimeter = 86 cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (w + 3w +7)

                                             = 2w +6w + 14

                                      86= 8w +14

                                       86-14 =8w

                                        72=8w

                                        72/8 =8/8w

                                          9=w

Width= 9 cm

Length = 3*9 + 7= 27+7 = 34 cm
