Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 232 feet. If the width of the garden is 52 feet, what is its length?

Answer 1

64 feet

Explanation:

perimeter = 232 feet

width = 52 feet

let length be 'x'

perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + b)

232 feet = 2(x + 52)

232 feet = (2*x) + (2*52)

232 feet = 2x + 104

2x + 104 = 232

2x = 232 - 104

2x = 108

x = 64 feet

therefore, length of the rectangle is 64 feet
