Mrs. Lenny is putting up a fence around her garden to keep the bunnies

out. The length of the garden is 8 feet more than the width. If the perimeter
of the garden is 308 feet, what is the length and the width?

Answer:

Length= 81 feet

width = 73 feet

Explanation:

P=2{(8+W)+W}

308=2(8+2W)

308=16+4W

308-16=4W

292=4W

W=73

And length = 8+W

8+73=81
