Question

The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 346 feet. If the width of the garden is 77 feet, what is the length?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, recall the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

`P=2width+2length.`

Substituting the given data, you get:

`346ft=2(77ft)+2length.`

Solving for the length you get:

`\begin{gathered} 346ft-2(77ft)=2length, \\ 192ft=2length, \\ length=(192ft)/(2)=96ft. \end{gathered}`

Answer:

`96ft.`
