Question

HELP ASAP‼️‼️ A walkway surrounds a rectangular garden. The width of the garden is 5 feet, and the length is 4 feet. The width s of the walkway around the garden is the same on every side. Write an expression that represents the total area of the garden and walkway.

___ s^2+_____s+______

Answer 1

=4x^2 +28x+48

Explanation:

Width of the garden is 8

There is walkway on each side of width so add x on each side

With the walkway is x+8+x = 2x+8

Length of the garden is 6

There is walkway on each side of length so add x on each side

With the walkway is x+6+x = 2x+6

The area of the garden is

A = lw

A = 8*6 = 48

The area of the walkway and garden is

A = lw

= (2x+8) (2x+6)

FOIL (first outer inner last)

= 4x^2 + 12x + 16x +48

=4x^2 +28x+48
