50 POINTS!!!!

A rectangular garden has length twice as great as its width. A second rectangular garden has the same length as the first garden and width that is 4 meters greater than the width of the first garden. The second garden has area of 120 square meters. What is the length of the two gardens? Enter your answer in the box. m=

Answer 1

24 meters

Explanation:

First we need to show width and length as variables.

let width of garden 1 = W

let length of garden 1 = L

let width of garden 2 = w

let length of garden 2 = l

Now make equations that are explained in the question

L = 2W

l = L

w = W + 4

l × w = 120

Now with that we can find l and w.

Now by looking at the factors of 120, find the factors that work throughout the question.

That is 12 and 10.

l=12

w=10

This means that...

L=12

W=6

Now the answer is 24 meters

Answer 2

12m
