Question

You will need 120 feet of fencing to put all the way around a rectangular garden. The length of the garden is 40 feet. What is the width?

A. 20 feet


B. 40 feet


C. 4,800 feet


D. 80 feet

Answer 1

a) 20 feet

Explanation:

We know it's a rectangle so lengths are the same and widths are the same

If length is 40

That would mean 120-2(40) = 80

We know 2 widths of a rectange so 40/2 is 20

Therefore 20 feet.

Answer 2

A. 20 ft

Explanation:

(120/2)-40=20
