Question

The length and width of a garden are in a ratio of 10:8. The perimeter of the garden is 324 feet. What is the length and width?

Answer 1

Length = 90 and width =75

Answer 2

length= 90feet

width =72 feet

Explanation:

perimeter=2(L+W)

324=2(L+W)

324/2=L+W

162=L+W( at a ratio of 10:8)

length=10/18 * 162=90

width=8/18*162=72

2(90+72)=324
