Question

A rectangular yard has a length that is 7 feet longer than its width. if the perimeter of the yard is 46 feet, what is the area of the yard?

Answer 1

If width = x then length = x + 7 feet

Perimeter = 2x + 2(x + 7) = 46

4x + 14 = 46

4x = 32

x = 8

So the area = 8(8 +7)

= 8*15

= 120 ft^2 answer
