Answer:

width of the garden's is, g-6 unit

Explanation:

Area of rectangle(A) is given by:


A = lw

where

l is the length of the rectangle

w is the width of the rectangle.

As per the statement:

The area of a garden is given by the trinomial of
g^2-2g-24 and the garden's length is g+4


A = g^2-2g-24 square units and
l = g+4 units

Factorize
g^2-2g-24


g^2-6g+4g-24 = g(g-6)+g(g-6)


(g+4)(g-6)

⇒A =
g^2-2g-24=(g+4)(g-6)

Substitute these in [1] we have;


(g+4)(g-6)=(g+4) \cdot w

Divide both sides by g+4 we have;


g-6 = w

Therefore, the width of the garden's is, g-6 unit
