Question

Jordan has a garden that is enclosed by a rectangular fence. The perimeter of the garden is 84 feet. The length of one side of fencing is 8 yards. What is the area of Jordan's garden?

Answer 1

504 ft

Explanation:

Perimeter = 2(width) + 2(length)

Convert yards to feet

1yard=3feet

8yards=?

8*3/1 = 24feet

84 = 2(w) + 2(24)

84 = 2w + 42

84 - 42 = 2w

42 = 2w

w = 21

Area = 1 * w

= 21 * 24

= 504 ft
