Question

A rectangular garden is fenced on all sides with 252 feet of fencing. The garden is 6 feet longer than it is wide. Find the length and width of the garden.

Answer 1

Explanation:

L = w+8

P = 2L + 2w

256 = 2(w+8) + 2w

256 = 2w + 16 + 2w

256 = 4w + 16

240 = 4w

w=60

Length is 60+8 = 68

width is 60
