Answer 2

length of the garden is 27.25 feet

Explanation:

Given: Marcel Park is weeding the rectangular vegetable garden. The garden has an area of 599.5 square feet.

To Find: If the garden is 22 feet wide,how long is the garden.

Solution:

Area of Garden is
`= 599.5` square feet

width of garden is
`= 22` feet

We know that,

As garden is rectangular

Area of garden is
`= \text{length}*\text{width}`

putting values in equation,

`599.5 = 22*\text{length}`

`\text{length}=(599.5)/(22)`

`\text{length}=27.25`

Therefore the length of the garden is
`27.25`
`\text{feet}`
