Question

Glenn has a garden that is shaped like a rectangle.

The perimeter of his garden is 70 1/2 feet.
The length of the garden is 24 3/4 feet.

What is the width of the garden?


21 ft o 11ft o 10 ½ ft o 45 ¾ ft

Answer 1

Solution given:

The length of the garden[l] = 24 3/4 =99/4feet.

breadth or width [b]=b

perimeter of his garden = 70 1/2=141/2 feet.

2[l+b]=141/2ft

99/4+b=141/4

b=141/4-99/4

b=21/2

b=10 ½ft

So the width of the garden is 10 ½ft.
