Question

A walkway surrounds a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is 3 meters, and the length

is 6 meters. The width x of the walkway around the garden is the same on every side.
A. Write an expression to represent the length of the garden and walkway:

Answer 1

You are given the width of the garden which is w= 8 feet

length of the garden which l= 6 feet

the width of the walkway is x

so for every side of the garden there is an x

so length overall would be 8+2x (length of garden + x one side + x other side)

and width overall would be 6 + 2x (width of garden + x of one side + x of other side)

area of rectangle is length*width

so the expression would be (8+2x)*(6+2x)

:))) smile....

I hope it is correct.
