Question

A rectangular garden is 6 feet longer than its wide. The perimeter of it is 52 feet. What equation can be used to find the width?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Your answer is;

the equation

(w+6)+(w+6)+(w)+(w) = 52

The width of this rectangle is 10. The length of this rectangle is 16.

Explanation:

Rectangular perimeter:

l+l+w+w

l= w+6

w= w

(w+6)+(w+6)+(w)+(w)

4w+12= 52

4w = 40

/4

w= 10

Hope this helps!
