Sarah, Leah, Haley, Lindsay, and Kim bought 4 bottles of water to share among themselves. They divided each bottle of water into 5equal portions. Sarah took 1portions from each bottle of water.

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

grunge  bands  such as nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden, and alice in chains broke into the mainstream, achieving commercial chart success and widespread exposure. punk revival  bands  like green day and the offspring also became popular and were grouped under the "alternative" umbrella.
