Question

Kim and her dad are planting a rectangular garden. The area of the garden is 1,080 ft2, and the width is 24 ft. What is length of the garden?

Answer 1

45 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

`\text{Area of a rectangle}=L* W\text{ where }\begin{cases}L=\text{Length} \\ W=\text{Width}\end{cases}`

Given:

• The area of the garden = 1,080 ft²

,

• Width, W = 24 ft.

Substituting into the formula above:

`1080=L*24`

Divide both sides by 24.

`\begin{gathered} (1080)/(24)=(L*24)/(24) \\ L=45ft \end{gathered}`

The length of the garden is 45 feet.
