Question

wants the perimeter of his rectangular garden to be, at most, 60 feet. He plans on making the length 19 feet. what is the maximum width of his garden , Solving Equations Word problems geometry and angles

Answer 1

width = 11 feet

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times length + width.

He already decided that the perimeter is at most 60 feet and the length is 19 feet. Then replacing in the formula for perimeter you have:

60 = 2 ( 19 + width)

30 = 19 + width

11 = width

Therefore the maximum width is 11 feet
