Question

A garden has an area of 24 square feet. The garden is 5 feet longer than it is wide. What is the width of the garden

A. w = 4.8 feet

B. W = 5 feet

C. W = 8 feet

D. W = 3 feet​

Answer 1

D. W = 3 feet

Explanation:

If the length is 5 feet longer than the width, then we know that the length has to be 8 when the width is 3. We can check if this is correct by finding the area with our length and width that we have.

W = 3 feet

L = 8 feet

3 x 8 = 24

hope this helps :)
