The area of a rectangular vegetable garden is 216 square feet. If the length is 12 feet,

what is the perimeter of the garden?

step 1

Find the width of the rectangular garden

we have that

A=L*W

we have

A=216 ft2

L=12 ft

substitute

216=12*W

solve for W

W=216/12

W=18 ft

step 2

Find the perimeter

P=2(L+W)

substitute

P=2(12+18)
