A rectangular paddock is 22m longer than it is wide. If the area of the paddock is 455m^2, find the perimeter of the paddock?

Assume:

the width of the paddock = W​

​

the length of the paddock = L = 22 + W​

​

Area = W * L​

​

Perimeter = 2 * (W + L)​

​

A diagram and letting the width be w, will aid your thinking.
