Question

The perimeter of the rectangular garden is 60 feet. Is the length of the garden is twice the width, what are the dimensions of the garden.

Answer 1

let the wigth =x

then the length =2x

You can get

2·(2x+x)=60

2·(2x+x)÷2=60÷2

2x+x=30

3x=30

x=10

So 2x=2×10=20

The width of the garden is 10 feet, the length is 20 feet and the area is 200 square feet.
