Answer:

11.7ft

Explanation:

length of the vegetable garden is 11.7 ft.

This is further explained below.

What is the length of the vegetable garden?

Generally,

The dimension of the garden is 3 sections long and 2 sections wide.

let

each section length = x

Therefore,

length of garden = 3x

width of garden = 2x

Area of the vegetable garden = 91.26 ft²

3x(2x) =121.5 ft²

6x² = 121.5

x² = 121.5/ 6

x² = 20.25

x = √15.21

x = 4.5

length of the vegetable garden

x= 3(4.5)

x= 11.7 ft
