Hanna's dad is designing a new rectangular garden for his backyard. He has a 20ft fence to put around the garden. He wants the l
ength of the garden to be 2 1/2 longer than its width. What must the width of the garden be?
1 answer:
Answer:
<em>3 3/4 feet</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Perimeter of the garden = 20ft
If he wants the length of the garden to be 2 1/2 longer than its width, then;
L = 2 1/2 + W
L is the length
W is the width
Perimeter of the garden = 2(L+W)
P20 = 2(5/2 + W+W)
20 = 5 + 2W+2W
20 - 5 = 4W
15 = 4W
W = 15/4
<em>W = 3 3/4 ft</em>
<em>Hence the width of the garden is 3 3/4 feet</em>
