Answer 1

92 feet.

Explanation:

Given:

The length of the garden needs to be 22 feet longer than the width of the garden.

The perimeter of the fence is a total of 324 feet

Question asked:

What will the length be of garden ?

Solution:

As length of the garden needs to be 22 feet longer than the width,

Let width =
`x`

Then, length will be =
`x+22`

As here perimeter of the fence is given, we can find length and width of garden by using:

Perimeter of rectangle =
`2(length+width)`

`324=2(x+22+x)\\324=2(2x+22)\\324=4x+44\\`

Subtracting both sides by 44

`324-44=4x+44-44\\280=4x\\`

Dividing both sides by 4

`70=x`

Width =
`x` = 70 feet

Then, length will be =
`x+22` = 70 + 22 = 92 feet

Therefore, the length of the garden will be 92 feet.
