Question

The area of a rectangular community garden is 200 square feet. The length of a rectangular garden is twice it’s width. Find the length and width of the garden.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

The length is 20 ft, and the width is 10 ft.

Explanation:

area = length * width

Let the width = w

length = 2w

A = LW

A = 2w * w = 200

2w^2 = 200

w^2 = 100

w = 10

L = 2w = 20

The length is 20 ft, and the width is 10 ft.
