Question

Linda's garden has a perimeter of 28 feet. The length of the garden is 12 feet. What is the width of Sara's garden?

Answer 1

Given

Perimeter : 28 feet

length : 12 feet

let perimeter be p,length be l and width be w

we know that perimeter is equal to length + width

so by substitution we get:

P= l+w

w = P- l

width = 28-12

= 16 feet

Hence width is equal to 16 feet
