Question

The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than its width. The garden's perimeter is 188 feet. Find the length of the garden.

Answer 1

Explanation:

perimeter= 2×Length + 2×width

from the question,

perimeter=188feet

Length is 8 feet more than the width

which means that

length =8 + Width

substitute them into the question

188 = 2(8+width) +2w

188 =16 +2w+2w

188=16 +4w

solving for W

4w =188-16
