Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 7 feet longer than its width. If the garden's perimeter is 202 feet, what is the area of the garden in square feet?

Answer 1

Answer: 2538 ft²

Solution :

• let widhts-x ; then lenght- x+7

• Formula :

• P=2(a+b) ; where a-length , b-weight
• Then:
• P=2(x+x+7)=202

• 2(2x+7)=202
• 2x+7=101
• 2x=94
• x=47 ; x+7=54

• Area=S=length×weight

• S=47×54=2538 ft²
