Answer:

The width of the rectangle is 6,105 yards, and the length of the rectangle is 13,105 yards.

Explanation:

Given that a rectangular garden covers 80 square yards, and the length is 7 yd longer than the width, to find the length and width of the rectangle the following calculation must be performed, knowing that the area of a rectangle arises from multiplying its width by its length:

X x (X + 7) = 80

5 x 12 = 60

6 x 13 = 78

8 x 14 = 112

6.1 x 13.1 = 79.91

6,105 x 13,105 = 80

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6,105 yards, and the length of the rectangle is 13,105 yards.
