Question

The length of Kathy's rectangular garden is 4 feet more than the width. If the perimeter of her garden is 40 feet, what is the length of Kathy's garden?

Answer 1

12ft

Explanation:

Width of the rectangle:x

Length: x+4

Perimeter =2 x (width+length)

2x+4=20

2x=16

x=8

Length:x+4=8+4=12ft
