The width of a rectangle is 3/4 its length.

[tex]w=\frac{3}{4}l[/tex]

The perimeter of the rectangle is 420 ft.

Recall that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by

[tex]P=2(w+l)[/tex]

Let us substitute the value of the given perimeter and the width

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=2(w+l) \\ 420=2(\frac{3}{4}l+l) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now simplify and solve for length

[tex]\begin{gathered} 420=2(\frac{3}{4}l+l) \\ 420=\frac{3}{2}l+2l \\ 420=3.5l \\ l=\frac{420}{3.5} \\ l=120\: ft \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 120 feet.
