Question

the perimeter of a ractangular garden is 374 feet. if the width of the garden is 88 feet, what is its length

Answer 1

width = 88 feet

perimeter = 374 feet

The length of the rectangle can be calculated below

`\begin{gathered} \text{perimeter}=2(L+W) \\ \text{where} \\ L=\text{length} \\ W=\text{width} \\ 374=2(L+88) \\ 374=2L+176 \\ 2L=374-176 \\ 2L=198 \\ L=(198)/(2) \\ L=99 \\ \text{length}=99\text{ f}eet \end{gathered}`
